Well, mutli-cultural weekend is here ... St. Pat's on Friday and St. Joe's on Sunday ...
St. Pat must have a strong lobby, since there was special dispensation given to allow Catholics to eat meat this Friday ... While I use to enjoy the Irish Step Dancers and Pipers when I played St. Pat's nights with the band all those years, I could never get into the 'corned beef and cabbage' thing ...
But St. Joe's, with the ZEPPOLES ... that's a WHOLE OTHER THING !!! ... The ABSOLUTE WORLD'S BEST are made in a little Italian Bakery in Staten Island - "Buono's Bakery" on Hylan Blvd. ... to avoid the holiday rush they start baking and selling them right after Valentine's Day !!! ... the line out the door is well worth the wait ... ...
Buona Festa !!!
