Benediction, broccoli rabe headline the St. Nick's Italian Festival

Early fall is a busy time for the South Philadelphia social calendar. Two weekends ago was Annunciation's Padre Pio carnival, last weekend was wine celebration Vendemmia in Girard Park, and this coming Sunday, Oct. 2, St. Nicholas of Tolentine hosts its annual Italian Festival on Ninth Street between Moore and Morris. The festival begins at noon with a good old-fashioned procession of relics (and we don't mean the wheelchair-bound granny in the Snuggie), followed by benediction on the church steps and eating and drinking till 9 p.m. Mamma Maria is braising tripe, Termini's is stuffing cannoli and Anthony's is brewing coffee. There’ll also be plenty of meatballs, 'scarole and beans, tomato pie, broccoli rabe, roast beef, porchetta, zeppoli and all other manner of red-sauce cookin'. Come hungry.
