The Feast of San Gennaro in Los Angeles; Sept. 26-28, 2008

The Fall is always a great time of year, especially for Italian Americans. Here on the East coast we have the St. Gennaro's feast in Little Italy, NY. For the West Coast Italians, there is the San Gennaro's feast in Los Angeles.

A good friend of mine is on the board of directors for the LA feast, their organization on the West coast is backed by celebrities such as Jimmy Kimmel, Adam Corolla, and tons more. There is no city like NY, but I have to tell you the San Gennaro's feast in Little Italy is not what it used to be, there is so much crowding on the streets that it becomes more of a pain than a good time to attend. On the other hand, the LA feast is carefully orchestrated with schedules, parking, and sponsored events. If you're in LA, go check it out..this weekend is where its at.

The Italian American Museum Opens In Little Italy!

For those of you who love history, this is the perfect place to go. The Italian American Museum is now open in its new building on Mulberry Street in Little Italy. The new location was once the old location of the original Banca Stabile, which was used by tons of Italian Americans in New York during 1882 to 1938. Inside you will find original structures and artifacts left by the building's previous owners. For more information on this magnificent structure and hours of visitation, please visit www.http://www.italianamericanmuseum.org/ Tweet
