Staten Island Waterfront Festival 2011
Photo Highlights of the 2011 Waterfront Festival
This year's Waterfront Festival, for the first time presented by Mayor
Michael Bloomberg and Borough President James P. Molinaro, was a wild
success. In search for the appropriate wording to describe this years'
one-of-a-kind event, I can't think of a better description than the one
offered by my friend Tony, who just got off the festival area right
before we arrived: "It is what it is!" A statement I heartily endorse.
There were jewelery and toy vendors and the ethnic food line-up
ranged from zeppole to pizza. There was also ice cream. Here are the
highlights:

Larger than life-sized Macy's balloons.

The other highlight: Traditional pizza eating contest.

Locals mix with natives.

And here, we were lucky enough to run into the great chieftain himself.
The elected full-body, three-term representative of all peoples of
Staten Island, Borough President James P. Molinaro.

Clearly, we didn't only elect this man for his effective hands-on
approach of all things local but also for his witty sense of dressing
adequately. Here, we see him with a blue checkered shirt and bright white
semi-transparent synthetic leisure trousers. A black leather belt
sports a black cellphone holder that allows for a quick draw.
After all, the man might be expecting a phone call.
We'll be back in 2012!
