The construction of a new nine-story mixed-use tower, The Arabella, has topped out at 4720 Third Avenue, in the Belmont section of The Bronx. The Arabella, designed by Ismael Leyva Architects and developed by Vertical Development and Sioni Group, will include 165 rental apartments situated above two floors of placemaking retail.
The interior of the apartments is designed by Marin Architects, offering an impressive range of amenities. The leasing for these residential units will be managed by REAL New York. OmniBuild Construction has been assigned as the general contractor for the project, while DeSimone Structural Engineers is handling the structural engineering.
Topping out of The Arabella marks a significant milestone in the project's progress, making it a dynamic new addition to the Belmont community, which is known for its long-standing Italian restaurants, cafes, the Arthur Avenue retail corridor, and famous green spaces including the Bronx Zoo and Ciccarone Park.
The Arabella will provide new opportunities for both residential and commercial growth, enabling new legacies to weave into the fabric of the neighborhood. Its distinct facade is a unique feature of the building, which is situated at Third Avenue and E 189th Street, just south of Fordham University, a crucial institution contributing to New York City's ongoing growth and advancement.

Demolition plans have been filed and construction is expected to soon begin.

Aside from the shopping and club hopping, New York City is also the global food capital. New Yorkers love to eat, and those visiting often make it a point to try all this town has to offer within the culinary department.
While for the most part out-of-towners, as well as New Yorkers, tend to gravitate towards restaurant’s in Manhattan, there’s an often overlooked borough you should explore.
The Bronx!
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.*
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 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!
Cơm Tấm Ninh Kiều is a Vietnamese restaurant with a friendly young team ready to serve up some tasty grub. They’ve recently revamped their website which makes navigating it pretty seamless. Their operating hours are now right at the top of the page and a lovely visual menu has been added to showcase all of their food items. Although the current state of the pandemic will prevent you from dining in, luckily St. James Park is right across the street. Walk in and take a walk while you enjoy your Bánh Mì! They also have a really interesting bubble tea style drink, which is a Sugarcane Caramel Latte. Eat your heart out Starbucks.
Healthy eating continues to be on trend, but Vegan’s Delight isn’t about being trendy. This down to earth shop doubles as a Caribbean mini market and takeout joint, focused on serving their customers food that does good for your taste buds and your physique. Located on Boston Road in the Northeast section of The Bronx, this is the ideal place for food on the go if you rather avoid the bevy of fast food chains surrounding nearby. Vegan’s Delight seems to always be packed, but the staff is swift and patient with you in case you have any questions. Thinking about what to try? Everything. Literally. I will admit, no matter what I purchase I always seem to walk out with an ackee patty in hand.
Antonio’s Trattoria is a well-known Bronx staple, receiving local media coverage and celebrity diners alike because of its great food and history within the community. The beautiful brick interior, light fixtures and overall décor are statement setting, so mark your calendars for a Valentine’s Day dinner at Antonio’s Trattoria. This restaurant is nestled within the Little Italy section of The Bronx, with lots of establishments to venture into right before your reservation. It might make life easier to just hop in an Uber to get there. Although you can only order takeout for now, we remain hopeful that outdoor seating will become an option sooner rather than later.
