Caio Bella

This past weekend was the Hoboken Italian Festival.  From Thursday to Sunday, a few blocks of Frank Sinatra Drive were closed to house the vendors for the festivities. 

I went through the festival Saturday afternoon with my roommates.  Thanks to the beautiful weather, there were tons of people enjoying the day and all that the festival had to offer.

Of course, there were many food vendors, even some that were not Italian, that satisfied the appetites of all the festival goers.  I settled on a chicken (no parm - true Noonan style) sandwich.  It was on a great Italian roll and it sure hit the spot!

There were a few musicians performing on a stage right by the water.  During one of the performances, a bunch of little kids got up in front and started dancing.  They were so cute!

-side note - I thought about getting up there myself - show 'em a thing or two (right Molly and Jess?!) but I decided to refrain!  :)      

One of the vendors had a sign right on his tent that read, "All jewelry - $2.00"  When I was waiting for my roommates to meet me at the festival, I went into this tent to see what he had.  There was another guy in there looking through stuff as well.  He of course asks, "Excuse me - how much is this?"  I nearly lost it and immediately thought of the dollar store commerical where the person asks the cashier the same question and they go, "For you, one dollar."  The vendor just replies "$2.00." 

I'm telling ya, amount of times I make myself laugh - (and then progressively continue to laugh because I can't stop thinking about what made me laugh in the first place) - people must think I have something wrong with me! 

ANYWAY! Here are a few pictures from the festival to give you an idea of what it looked like!  Oh - and those are my fabulous roommates with me in the last picture!  

Molly, Jessica, and me!

Grazie!
