There is just something about those Italians. Maybe it's that dark, exotic look. Perhaps it's that accent. Or it has to be their passion for life. Well, whatever it is, Italians are irresistibly sexy. Celebrate the alluring culture at the 80th Annual Feast of San Gennaro, New York City's oldest and largest street festival.

The Italian fest began yesterday and will continue for 11 days through September 23. In the past, approximately one million people have been drawn to the charming, ethnic quarter of Manhattan for relgious processions and parades, free entertainment, food stands and a professional cannoli-eating contest.

Italians know how to celebrate correctly, so take your cue from them and head down to Mulberry Street in Little Italy to partake in the festivities with this very attractive, zesty bunch.
