they have that year round or not.
and as for street food vendors, check out the halal guys on 53rd and 6th and get the chicken on rice. huge portions for a good price and it's damn tasty. I'm not sure what time they're usually open, but we went on a friday night at around 11pm and the lineup was 2 blocks long.

That's the San Gennaro festival, and unfortunately it's not year round. There are other pop up street fairs, but they're more of the $10 sunglasses and meat on a stick variety (not that that's not great too).
If you like Italian, especially old school style (think meatball and chicken parm sandwiches, baked ziti etc.) check out a new place in SoHo called (fittingly) Parm. The chefs/owners are nationally known for taking old school italian and making it gourmet and also own one of the best restaurants in the city (Torrisi Italian Specialties).
