Every year they have the Italian festival at the old Deal Test Site. I believe the Italian American…read moreclub runs it from Ocean Township. It's an event that started on Wednesday and finishes up on Sunday. There are many rides lots of food and a lot of fun to be had. Entertainment was provided by various bands and local gymnasts. There's plenty of police presence due to the large crowds. There are plenty of Porta Johns and this is the largest I have seen this festival since I last attended 15-20 years ago. Prices from the vendors are a tad high due to the fact that their income is very variable. I had a sausage sandwich with peppers and onions which set me back $8. Water at most stands were $1. Sandwich was tasty after putting on some "heat". Afterwards I indulged in a kiddie ice cream cone $4, much needed to cool me off. What I did not see at this festival was a hands-on section for all. Tickets for the rides were $25 for 24 tix or $50 for 54 tix. The average ride was 3 to 4 tickets. There was plenty of parking though you were urged to donate $1 to the police explorers ( who are they?) The only major problem at this festival were the exits. There were no signs saying how to exit the site, so that took a some time to explore. Maybe that $1 donation will ease the problem next summer. 3 & one half stars.

Such is the humble beginnings of Allentown New Jersey, halfway between New York & Philadelphia. This was all before Snookie & MTV trashed all things Jersey and created late night TV fodder for all those talking heads, despite the fact that those Jersey Shore invaders were not Jerzee natives. In 1706 Nathan Allen bought much of the farmland and built 3 mills and the area was known as Allen's Town, and morphed into today's Allentown. George Washington slept here on his way to Crossing the Delaware. That building is still on Main St. So many historical little goodies for you history buffs. Now, for the fest right on Main St. The 2nd weekend of October every year. The weather makes all the difference, ... get a nice sunny day and you can take in all the charm of this lively little town and enjoy and stuff your face with your favorite Jersey tasty treat. Pork roll-n-cheese, sausage-n-peppers, sweet local corn, Fried clams/clam rolls, Zeppoles (Jersey's fried dough with powdered sugar, so bad and soooo good) and then every local restaurant sets up shop to show off their signature dishes. When you're done prepare to roll out smiling with a satisfied pallet! The Civil War reenactment in the adjacent park is very well done and Nerdvana for us History geeks :-) Definitely a cool stop on fall day!

Portugal Day in the Ironbound is a big deal and takes over Ferry Street yearly for one weekend every June. Check it out at least once. It's pretty cool. There's so much to experience - music in the streets, a parade, costumes, delicious cuisine at food stands and served at many of the restaurants lining Ferry street, huge sangria drinks and Bacardi lemonade drinks. It's a big party. It's free to walk around, but some places have private celebrations that you can enter by paying an entrance fee. I know that Iberia charged $20 to enter their lot where they had their own food stands and entertainment. I didn't go inside, but my friends went and said it was pretty cool. You'll have fun either way - going the free route or paying for a more exclusive experience. Portugal Day is a fun time and something to check out in the Ironbound in June.

The few things that really caught my eye were pretty pricey in my opinion. However if I was shopping for a gift this would have been a great place to find something.
