What a splendiforous event! Food vendors galore! Art! Crafts! Clothing! Everything imaginable! Streets were closed for blocks and blocks. Since we'd all had a light breakfast, we were hungry and headed for the food area. We followed a wonderful aroma to The Pit Master BBQ.
Oh, my - was it ever good! Vicki and I shared the three meat bowl - brisket, pork and chicken - with slaw. The sauce was fresh peach mango habenero and was it ever fabuloso! It might have been the best BBQ I have ever eaten. And the owners were so friendly, I felt we'd known them for years.
After the BBQ fix, I found an Italian stand that was making Zepolles. I'd never had one so I HAD to partake. Oh, dear! I had no idea there were so many. I ate two and Vicki ate two. It's kind of like a little donut but not round and not airy and COVERED with powered sugar. There was a sweet family next to us in the park where we ate, so they offered to take them off our hands!
By this time, the temperature had risen and jackets were no longer necessary.
We then walked around and "shopped" and mingled and stopped and had wonderful ice cream. Yes, I took a lot of photos but guess what!!! No, my camera is not on the bottom of the Hudson River, but it should be. I didn't bring my big camera this time as I wanted to "keep it simple." That said, I'm now the owner of a new little digital camera for my purse. It's now in the process of charging, so hopefully there will be photos tomorrow evening after our day in NYC.
Vicki is preparing a lovely dinner for later and a movie might be in order. Tomorrow, NYC and who knows what else.
à bientôt
