Ok so personally, I like to be greedy and eat both at a restaurant in little Italy AND from the street vendors at the festival. So my game plan is to just pick one of the restaurants that isn't too crowded and overrun with people, enjoy some great Italian food. Probably a ravioli or a marsala. Something a bit lighter so that I still have room to buy cannoli's from Ferrera's bakery and maybe enjoy an Italian sausage with some peppers too. It's more a marathon than a sprit, you know? But every single pasta I have ever had at the festival has been a gift from the heavens.
