New York Monday #86: Brazil Day 2007

September 3, 2007 | Filed Under New York Monday, Festivals 

 

Brazil Day 2007 came and went on Sunday (September 2).  I’ve mentioned before (Brazil Day 2005 and 2006 part I and II  (if you missed them, go take a look)) that my friends and I like to attend this yearly festival.  We love to taste the different Brazilian foods sold on the street, check out the jewelry, music and other knick knacks that are displayed for sale.  We love to soak up the joyous atmosphere and walk through the sea of Brazilian green and yellow colors.  Every year, the festival becomes more and more crowded.  This year was no different, but I think people still have a good time.

Have a great week, everyone!

Paz

    I haven’t been to the festival for the past couple of years, but was there a few times before. It was always such fun! Looks like this year was great fun, too — and perfect weather.

    Paz…when I saw the title of this post, I thought I was going to see a lot of photos of good-looking men in football jerseys. Silly me. :wink: Those shots of the food are outstanding - they give a real sense of eating at a fair/festival.

    Hi Simona: It’s always a fun festival! Thanks for your good wishes. I’m glad the work week is over. ;-)

    Hi Anh: I’m glad you could come with me online. ;-) Yes, it did have the spirit as if they won the World Cup. That’s a fun time, too.

    Hi Lydia: Thankfully, the weather was wonderful!

    Hi Patricia: That’s my friend graciously modeling her cheese patel for me. :grin:

    LOL! Mari! There were a lot of good looking guys. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: I have more food shots in past pics provided in the links above. The food is always good.

    Hi Rosa: It’s always an interesting event.

    Hi Joey: It’s always a blast!

    Hi Ming the Merciless: I love Brazilian food, too. The first food pictured above is a pastel with cheese and the second food in the plate is farofim de couve, which is a mixture of farofa, collard greens, scallions, and hard-boiled eggs. I didn’t get to taste this but my friend said it was DELICIOUS!

    Thanks for stopping by, everyone!
