I am 100% Italian and love all Italian food and festivals. There haven't been many festivals at all in the past year and a half so I am happy for this Saturday. This weekend Amsterdam will bring back ItaliaFest. The event was canceled last year due to COVID. It will be held on Bridge Street Saturday, September 18th from 11 am until 9 pm. But before you go, I wanted to give you a little inside lesson on how to pronounce some of the delicious foods you will be asking for at ItaliaFest.

Brian was pretty relentless about me never having tried corned beef. Not only had I not had corned beef and cabbage, but I also had never had a Reuben sandwich. The corned beef wasn't something I looked at and thought, "I need to eat that." Also, the Reuben sandwich has three of four things on it that I absolutely dislike. Well, that all changed on St. Patrick's Day.
