Thanks - great descriptions of neighborhoods, walks and their food. and "pig candy" Hmmm. I don't think pig candy would travel home well. My husband will have to wait until he gets to NYC, I think.
I won't be in town for the Little Italy festival, but it sounds great. We'll be in town next week.

Another great walk is to take the train to Brooklyn Heights (beautiful neighborhood) and back to Manhattan over the Brooklyn Bridge.
(The San Gennaro Festival was fun in the 1960s and 1970s, but the crowds have become too large to be enjoyable.)

Oops, I didn't notice that you're going this month, not in September. Never mind about the San Gennaro festival.
Roni Sue's pig candy does indeed need to be refrigerated. She used to ship it, so I guess it doesn't need to be refrigerated constantly. But August is probably not the time of year to be pushing the envelope...

That whole area around Hudson St.,Christopher St, Bedford St. Grove St. Bleecker St etc is very pretty and old. Many tourists w/ cameras over there. Then head east on Bleecker to cross 7th Ave and get into some serous eating along Bleecker and Cornelia.

Another great walk would take you by foot across the Williamsburg Bridge into Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
Although I live in Manhattan, I do not often get to Williamsburg but I did so last weekend and I highly recommend. Maybe someone else can plot out an exact walk if you want to explore..I found it fascinating, although not as architecturally handsome as some other areas...there is a lot of good eating in this area..from Peter Luger's on down..
