Little Italy’s chicest subterranean restaurant Mulberry Project will participate in the 85th Annual Feast of San Gennaro Food Festival from September 15th – 25th.

Mulberry Project will add an eclectic and original taste to the Italian-focused festival with dishes by Executive Chef Michael “Kiwi Camplin.” Typically, the festival is more focused on the Italian-based restaurants the inundate the area, but Mulberry Project has a ton of offerings from their internationally-inspired menu. They are serving Short Rib Sliders and Tuscan Fries, which are off the beaten path for the festival and add a fun twist to the 10 day event.

The outpost will be located right outside the restaurant at 149 Mulberry Street (between Hester & Grand St.).
