Hercules fits, but I'm not quite sure about that behemoth. Thank god
for the BFL (that's big friendly library)."
The translation I gave in the "summary" post was from the _Companion_.
Grant goes on to mention two feasts that are celebrated for saints
Gennaro, "which is held on Mulberry Street in September" [Grant 75],
and Giuseppe, "which falls on March 19" [Grant 75] and "is
traditionally the occasion when zeppole di San Giuseppe are served"
[Grant 75]. Mulberry Street would be near the location we are given in
this section, but the San Giuseppe feast would be the correct time of
the year and the zeppole bit seems to refer to this feast.
