Here you’ll find a unique range of cultural diversity that can only be realized and appreciated if you take the train (or car) ride in.
If you’re feeling adventurous, and hungry, I’ve got a few eateries in The Bronx to recommend. *Please note that COVID-19 related restrictions are still in place within the New York City area, so many dining establishments are only offering takeout, pickup and/or delivery services.*
The Seashore
If you want your meal to come with a view, then stop by The Seashore. Located right off the City Island Road Bridge, you can get here by car and park onsite or via public transportation (take the local Bx29 bus or the BxM8 express bus). This waterfront destination offers an expansive seafood menu that never fails in the taste department, along with a very attentive waitstaff and management team. The Seashore offers a lunchtime menu at a great price point, with no shortage on the portion size or quality. For now, you’ll be able to enjoy their online ordering options for take-out and delivery.
Fratelli’s
Fratelli’s is an Italian restaurant housed in the Pelham Gardens section of The Bronx. Take the #5 subway line and get off at either the Gun Hill Road or Pelham Parkway train stations to get there, or opt for a ride on the Bx12 bus that runs from the Inwood section of Manhattan. Of course, driving is also an option and parking is plentiful within this mainly residential neighborhood. Indeed, Fratelli’s does have this “neighborhood” feel and their atmosphere makes it a welcoming place for both regulars and newcomers. So does the food. In sharing his own story, the head chef and owner makes it clear that he’s cooking from the heart and sharing a piece of his tradition with diners. If you’re flying solo their Veal and Shrimp Fratelli dish tops the list. If you’ve got a few mouths to feed, try their Family of Four dinner special!
