Growing up my favorite meal was my mom’s mudiga steaks with a big helping of buttery mashed potatoes and peas.
Here is Christa Tumbiolo at the Fort Square Cafe presenting a mudiga steak sandwich with the peppers and the provolone cheese. I’ll tell you Fort Square Cafe is a great place to hang out if you want to get a flavor for the true character of this city. It’s a place where everyone is chatting and talking about the latest goings on.

Sammy Scola and Anthony Saputo place the seine boats so they will be ready for the crews to practice in the morning. It’s THAT TIME OF YEAR!

After the fireworks on Sunday night, when everything is winding down, around 11:30, the statue of St. Peter is carried through the Fort. The group stops along the way at the homes of those who have lived in the Fort for years. Confetti is thrown and the crowd shouts “Viva San Pietro!”. As the festivities close, St. Peter is placed back in the window at the Club until June of the next year.
