Nolita (and LIta) residents will reek of sausage and zeppole for the next ten nights - it's San Gennaro time! Part Heartburn Row, part boardwalk midway, tonight, you'll be able to waste money as you try to win a Nemo plush and stuff yourself with Mozzarepas galore. Gothamist hasn't heard many stories about how the NYPD is securing the area, but we guess that's because the NYPD is concentrating on the UN. Maybe the mobsters will keep the peace!
More information from the official San Gennaro site; the first parade will be on Saturday, 2PM, when the statue of San Gennaro is taken from the Most Precious Blood Church. And Gothamist on last year's festival, from security to photos.

I'll be sure to wear my A|X muscle shirt and spike my hair "Growing Up Gotti" style.
most precious blood church? that's awesome.
"Nolita"? NOLITA?????? Wow....It's O - friggin' - fficial man. My city is being swallowed up be the wealthy children of George W. and you are perpetuating the travesty. Why on earth would we hold the San Gennaro feast in a neighborhood called "Nolita"? It's Little Italy you silly yuppies. For the sake of this place you claim to love for it's "realness" (you know, the place you moved to 3 years ago to get away from your soul-less suburban roots) - please call it Little Italy!

The festival name is 'San Genaro' not 'San Gennaro' (nix the 'n').
Also, it happens in Little Italy.
Frou frou cupcakes and Miranda-wannabes exist in NoLita.
Get with it people.
I knocked that creep down 3 times in a row last year!!
Get out your matching purple warm-up suits and get ready for another week of cadilac-driving greaseballs paying homage to some sort of Italian-American thing by butchering the Italian language. You'll hear such things as:
"Calimads hee-a! Get yo calimads!!" - translation, calamari here. I have calamari.
"Mootz-arel" = mozzarella
"Proshoot" = proscuitto
Please ... don't forget about those vowels people, they exist.
Hey HR, you must not know a single thing about real Italian or the history of this region. Where the hell were you born, in some cave?
Anyway, welcome to the New New York - boring, pampered Ivy League kids and suburban dorks from NJ and NYS.
Yeah, "nolita" makes my skin crawl. What the fuck does that even mean? I will not say that word. And hr, most Italian Americans are from the South, thus the strong accent, capeesh?
