Torrisi @ San Gennaro

I have to be honest: I dread the San Gennaro festival. It means having to fight my way through crowds of Italian-sausage stuffing tourists on my doorstep just to get into my building and the smell of ten pound bags of raw onions being chopped at 10 in the morning. However, this year there is a ray of light: the Torrisi Italian Specialties booth. They're serving a juicy roast pork sandwich topped with spicy broccoli rabe and peppers, the most incredible mozzarella sticks from their hand-made cheese in a herbed, crusty batter, and a sweet cream puff to top it all off.
