San Gennaro- Little Italy, New York

When you're a New Yorker you know fall has arrive because the fest of San Gennaro is going on in Little Italy. The feast normally begins by the second the weekend of September. To find out the history and activities of the feast you can go to SanGennaro.org. At the feast you can get your favorite Italian American sandwiches, pizza, pasta and many desserts.

During the feast the street of Little Italy becomes a lot smaller. All of the restaurants set up tables on the sidewalk of their restaurants. Then you have your food carts or shops set up on both sides of the streets. It gets jammed pack when you go at night. Although I know it might be hard to go out the house without a stroller when you have a young child, but it's best to leave them at home. It takes up a lot of space and you don't want people to bump into the stroller and especially your child. That's just my opinion because you should be more practical in these types of situations.

So usually when I go to the feast (or any feast) I usually get a sausage sandwich with peppers and onions. This time I wanted to try something different so I got the pork barasoiel with onions and peppers. It was one of the best things I ever ate. With each bite I kept on saying how amazing and good my sandwich was. Also if you like the fat on your meat I definitely recommend getting the park barasoiel. There wasn't a lot of fat, but here and there you would bite into it.

After the sandwiched we walked it off for a while and started to scope out the other things to eat. I'm big on sweets so I passed by Ferrara's and saw they had gelato, but we stilled wanted to walk around. Plus I wanted to get calamari from Umberto's Clam House. At least my boyfriend and I figured out where we were getting our desserts from, so time was not wasted walking around. Then off we went walking and hit Umberto's Clam House. They had two stands, this year and I can only imagine the kind of profit they'll be making from it. Every time I go it's always been packed with people around. I love seafood so I appreciate good friend calamari. It was golden and crispy on the outside. Not too chewy either which was just perfect. We got the sweet marinara sauce on top of the calamari and everything was delicious.

Once we were done with that it was time to take a picture in the big chair. Usually my boyfriend and I take the big chair pictures at the feast in Brooklyn for Our Lady of Mount Carmel. It we don't get it at that feast then we'll take the pictures at San Gennaro and it's the same lady

Daily Blog: Best Pizza Ever!!!

Best Pizza I ever had was in Miami. Although you would think that New York's pizza would be the best, this place in Miami is my favorite. The name of the place is Pizza Bar and it's located at 1627 Collins Ave. The shop also had a website if you want to check it out, PizzaBar.com

Pizza Bar is pretty big, but it's narrow just like a bar. The slices there are huge. If I was to compare it to a regular New York pizza it's about two and a half of a  slices of a slice put together. It's the perfect pizza, not too much dough which I like because I prefer a thin crust. Although that sounds like a lot almost everyone that goes there is able to finish the whole slice.

At night Pizza Bar is always busy with people getting food after going out. Just like any pizza place they have a variety of pizzas to choose from. I've had their plain, pepperoni and mushroom slice. Each one was was good and I'd get them all again.

So if you're over in the South Beach area go to the Pizza Bar after a night out or for lunch one day. I promise you won't regret it.
