John DeLutro, the Cannoli King, lamented the significant rise in ingredient prices, declaring, 'You can't charge any more money for these products. How do you charge $10 for a cannoli? You can't. I'm up to $7.' This reflects the pressure vendors face in maintaining traditions while coping with inflation.
Danny Fratta, owner of Danny's on the Corner, emphasized the impact of inflation on prices: 'When we came back in 2021 and I started purchasing what I needed for this feast, you were talking three times [the price] of what it used to be.' This underlines the struggle of small businesses at events.
