In our neighborhood, The Feast refers to the Feast of San Gennaro. Imagine a county fair on a narrow street in downtown Manhattan. It's wild. Lots of stands selling sausage and peppers, deep fried oreos, zeppoles and pizza. There are even some small rides on the side streets including a mini-ferris wheel and parachute drop. There is a stage with live entertainment, and each night we are serenaded by a band playing Italian American classics such as the Rocky Theme Song, New York, NY, That's Amore and more. Oh, and it lasts for 10 days. Here are few photos:
This is the view from our front door.
Here is a view down our block with one of New York's finest.
Another angle of our block and one of the many t-shirt stands.
We thought we'd have dinner inspired by The Feast. We had some spicy sausage with potatoes, red pepper, garlic and kale.
This is an imprecise recipe. We used 1 lb of spicy sausage, 3 potatoes, 1 red pepper and 1 large bunch of kale. I cooked the sausage and potatoes for 30 minutes at 300 degrees, and then added the red pepper and kale and cooked it for another 15 minutes. It was piled high in a cast iron pan, and it cooked down nicely. Enjoy your own feast.

This sounds like so much fun! And the sausage dish sounds so delicious! Good luck with the Foodbuzz competition! Angie
Oooh, great idea. A sausage and peppers skillet dinner is pretty standard fare around my house, but I've never put kale in there, and I love kale. Thanks for sharing with Hearth 'n Soul this week :)
Oh, I love the look of that dish - it looks gorgeously colourful and I just know that would taste great. What a wonderfully vibrant neighbourhood you live in - I am very envious :-)

Comfort food! We have had the sausage, potato, pepper combination quite often, it is very good. I like the addition of kale though, I hadn't thought of adding that.
Looks like fun is right outside your front door!
