Back at work, I met a team leader that has an Eastern European accent but I can't tell where specifically. A little small talk and found out he is from Romania. Suddenly, I tried to squeeze what I know about the country and its culture but nothing other than Dracula's Transylvannia and Nadia Comaneci comes in mind.
When I heard New York City is having a Romanian parade, I knew to check it out.
When you go to these street fairs there were other vendors other than anything to do with Romania. I still found some odds and ends but I felt the fair lacks anything to do with Romania.
The Romanian Flag.
Tassels galore.
Who say's that wide belts are only for women?
Also, I found some food finds.
As a neighboring country, they have also acquired some Greek cuisine. Below is baklava.
That is the name of the restaurant. Catchy, no?
Those are made of beef and lamb, they serve that with potatoes.
I was told those are some sweet cakes with Hungarian origins. They sell for $7 each.
The street fair was located in downtown NYC in Broadway from Wall Street to Battery Park area.
