catesta Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 I need some info from the folks in Jersey. Has anyone here ever attended this? Hoboken Italian Festival I'm thinking about checking it out on Saturday, if it's the real deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free For All Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 (edited) In "Sinatra Park", no less. Think there will be a "concrete overshoes" three-legged race? Or maybe how many people can fit in the trunk of a Caddy? Bobbing for cannoli? OK, I apologize for this post. Couldn't help myself. I'm sure the event will be great. Parking, however, will be murder. -Paulie Edited September 8, 2005 by Free For All Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catesta Posted September 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 I'm not as worried about parking as I am it being more of a yuppie fest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold_Z Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Haven't been to that particular festival, but I have been to an Italian festival sponsored by a church in Hoboken. St Michael's I think. That's the real deal, although I can't see this one being bad ...overpriced? yes., but I'd bet the food is happenin'.

Free For All Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Apparently this particular activity.... ......produced a large quantity of something...... .....although one would think grape-stomping might produce something a little more......well, grape colored.

skeith Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Catesta, you probably know this already, but the big Italian festival in Manhattan's Little Italy is the San Gennaro festival and it usually is happening around now., but I am not sure of the dates. Also, Arthur Ave. in the Bronx has some good ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vajerzy Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 Go attend. I heard it's a great thing. I grew up in Jersey- but in South Jersey- Hoboken's about 2 hours north. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catesta Posted September 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 I went and had a great time. Hoboken is much nicer than I remembered. They did a wonderful job putting this thing on. I'm chomping on some zeppole we brought home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 Can't say I've heard of this one but Hoboken is very nice. I've heard it's a great place to live. Plus, if you work in "the" City, it's a great commute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catesta Posted September 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 You have my sympathy. I wouldn't want to have to deal with it every day. Still, I will be probably be there next weekend contributing my share of smells and noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
