    Reinventing San Gennaro

    Patrizia Orioli(September 23, 2011)
    The Two Bridges Neighborhood Council, in collaboration with the Basilica of St. Patrick's Old Cathedral has taken the opportunity of the annual feast of San Gennaro to establish the San Gennaro Gateway North location as a possible destination point, the first in a plan for the development of a series of “gateways,” to facilitate visitor and tourist access points to the Chinatown–Little Italy Historic District.

    The San Gennaro Feast is Approaching ... Or is it Two of Them?

    Patrizia Orioli(September 12, 2011)
    The 85th Annual Feast of San Gennaro, New York City’s longest-running, biggest and most revered religious outdoor festival in the United States, will be held Thursday, September 15, through Sunday, September 25, 2011, on the streets of historic Little Italy--the lower Manhattan neighborhood which served as the first home in America for hundreds of thousands of Italian immigrants in the early part of the 20th century. This year however, there also are those who want to celebrate San Gennaro their own way by respecting tradition but progressing with our ever changing times. In the northernmost block of the San Gennaro Feast (at Mulberry Street between Prince and Houston Streets) an innovative cultural and interactive program has been devised.
