In our continuing goal to keep you informed of all culturally important events in the city of New York, we present our coverage of the Cannoli Eating Contest sponsored by Little Italy's Caffé Palermo. The Canoli Eating Contest is part of the Feast of San Gennaro which opened on September 13, 2007 and will run for eleven days through Sunday, September 23, 2007.

And just to show you how seriously we cover events like competetive eating, read Jessica Cogan's story and see Evan Sung's photos of Crazy Legs Conti, one of contestants in this year's Cannoli Eating Contest. Crazy Legs was our November 2004 interview subject. So there.

New York Cool photographer Angelo Rivera was in Little Italy on September 14, 2007 and and he got these images of the contest.
