How about a Sunday lunch with four hundred thousand of your closest friends? Streets filled with long tables overflowing with Italian pasta, bread and wine. Smiling faces engaged in jovial laughter and conversation while the warm fall sun illuminates the festivity as a parade slowly snakes by. A history of passing on folk traditions from one generation to the next for 138 years is evident as your stroll the streets. By accident we stumbled on San Francisco’s Annual Italian Heritage Parade on Columbus Day which is distinguished as the City's oldest civic event and the nation's oldest Italian-American parade. What a beautiful way to spend a lazy Sunday.
“The trouble with eating Italian food is that five or six days later you're hungry again.”
George Miller
