During lunch hour today, I stumbled upon the San Gennaro Italian Festival. It was taking place in Little Italy just a few blocks from the HuffPost Office. I walked around for a bit and grabbed a few slices of pizza from Pomodoro’s.
I also overheard this conversation:
Woman 1: Why is everything in Christmas colors?
Woman 2: Those are the colors of Italy.
Woman 1: Did Christmas colors come from Italy?
The women were older and had a Southern accent, so clearly they were from out of town. I laughed and thought, only in America would you hear a conversation like this.
