"When you walk down this street and you see those colors just exploding at the end you know you're home and you're in paradise," said the owner, Antonio Romani. "
There's also plenty of fresh coffee and food. The secret to John Carlino's donuts is fresh apple cider. "We actually make them with fresh apple cider, then we toss 'em in cinnamon sugar while they're still warm," explained Carlino, the owner of Cider Donuts.
Today will feature locally grown produce from students called "Farmers in Training." They learned to grow fruits and veggies at their local community centers.
For the welcoming ceremony, Mayor Jeri Muoio, made a salad with the kids.
