Texpats go to the Feast of San Gennaro

The Feast of San Gennaro is a highlight of the year for New York's Little Italy.

And since Naples is basically the Texas of Italy, we're crashing the party.

We're trading brisket for bolognese and making our way to the festival at Mulberry Street Bar, then rolling into the fair together for a night of Italian swagger, street-fair spectacle, and Southern Italian charm with a Lone Star twist.

The festival was first celebrated in 1926, when immigrants from Naples congregated along Mulberry Street in Little Italy to continue the Italian tradition of celebrating their patron Saint Januarius.

Naples may be south of the border in Italy, but it’s got the same big-hearted energy as Texas: proud traditions, strong opinions, bold flavors, and a serious love of feeding a crowd.
