Nothing is more popular and essential as sausage and peppers at the Italian street feasts with zeppole coming a close second. This vendor was at the Our Lady of Mt. Carmel fest in Brooklyn.

     Another image from the seventies of the Saint Anthony's feast on Sullivan Street downtown Manhattan. Italian Americans celebrate teir patron sainta with street festiv;s that must include a procession with the saint's statue.

I have always been fascinated by the local Italian feasts and especially by the vendors. These two women  apparently had had a long day. The place is the OL of Mount Carmel feast in North Brooklyn and the date is July of 2002. The camera was the Fuji S-2 Pro.

 Soon it will look like this as the town celebrates the feast the of the Madonna, the patron of the town.
