The South 9th Street Italian Market Festival In Philadelphia, PA Was Held On May 19, 2013

Once again, and for the third year in a row, I attended the South 9th Street Italian Market Festival in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I showed up on day two, Sunday, May 19, 2013.  As usual, there were many people in attendance, street musicians and plenty of souvenirs to purchase.

Here are Tomato Pie slices of pizza. Toward the end of the event, I heard a vendor announce that all food is $1 each. I asked if the Tomato Pie is made with eggs or milk and a co-worker told me no, it is totally vegan so I said, "I'll take three!".  The business' card is included in the photo ...

Here are some items I bought (the CD is a bootleg or an incredibly low-budget disc by a supposed company called Roma):
