Title:
Excerpt: Every year I travel from Berks County with my husband and his family to the Italian Market on a traditional shopping trip for our Italian Christmas Eve dinner. We shop at Di Bruno's for cheese, meats, olives, and at Di Bruno's prepared foods to make baskets for far away relatives. We stand in line for hours sometimes, making coffee and hot chocolate runs to stave off the cold, talking with locals and enjoying the flavor of Philly. We shop and browse thru the street vendors, make a trip to Termini Bros. for pastries and cannoli and end up at Anastasi's for our fish & seafood shopping and for a long deserved lunch. We take over a table in the corner, squeezing in and stay as long as we can. The food is always good, the service excellent and we are always charmed by how included we feel, as we talk and laugh amongst ourselves as well as with our fellow patrons. It feels like being part of one big family, we get tips on places to shop & find the special something needed to fill out our Christmas Eve meal, commisserate over the long lines and cold weather, but it's always such a special trip and I can't wait to go each year. Over the years we have been doing this, we've perfected our system, and it makes us feel like a much closer family, and what family couldn't use a little boost every now and then? Sure, maybe it's brought on by the food & wine, but I've never loved my in-laws more than after our annual trip and I look forward to that good feeling every year. Thanks, Anastasi's, for being a part of our family tradition!
