San Gennaro Festival
The connections between Italians and Americans go back hundreds of years.
NYC honored Giovanni da Verrazzano naming our beautiful harbor bridge after him.
Thursday, Sep 12 through Sunday, Sep 22 NYC is celebrating the Feast of San Gennaro, with most activities happening in "Little Italy".
If you want to attend in style, we recommend a classic fedora, in straw or felt.
Alternatively, you can wear a fashionable cap.
Feel free to come in for inspiration,
and have a wonderful festival!

Balancing Fashion & Style
One of the pleasures at JJ Hat Center is the variety of customers, and their needs and wants.
Your choice of headwear might be an expression of your style.
Or it might be a fashionable addition to your wardrobe.
Or you might be looking for protection from the cold, the rain, the sun.
We gladly provide all, along with humble advice, if so desired.
And quite a few NYC and American companies and media look to JJ Hat Center for advice on both, style and fashion, like the NYT, Inside Edition; as well as Broadway, Opera and Movie productions.
Thank you all for your patronage and business.
