Ildi and the basil plant worriedly looked out on the street this morning to see the tacky red, green, and white archways being erected. The street ornament fortells the Feast of San Genaro, a two-week street festival in Little Italy to end the summer.
My new apartment will overlook the teeming humanity, sausage stands, and abusive clown dunking. The girlfriend and the plant are worried about this, but I’m going to try and embrace it. I’m planning a party. We can all eat zeppoli and drink street beer. It will be like other outdoor festivals, but we have access to a private bathroom.
