OMG, it is a gigantic vagina cone. Wow, wonder what demographic they are aiming at? Wonder what it would be in Hell's Kitchen....
The real hate regarding San Gennaro seems to be from Mr. Hurwitt.
1. When these merchants entered the neighborhood, they knew what they were getting into. No one, strong armed them. No one forced them to go.
2. I was at most of the event on Saturday, there was not one...not one...hateful thing said about the merchants, the Chinese who live in the area, etc. People spoke about how proud they were to be Italian, about the good relations between the Chinese and Italian Community by Victor Papa and music. If that is the stuff of hate, then let there be more hate.
I heard more hateful things coming out of the shop owners and their suck-up supporters as I walked Mulberry St. that afternoon.
