An Uptown Experience
Food scene
This place has amazing pizza. If you like thin layered pizza, I recommend them. They also have amazing beverage selections. If you want pasta, or end up getting their garlic knots, make sure to get the marinara sauce. It is wonderfully delicious. You can order by the slice on their website. Please google them. Support your local business by ordering by phone or through their website if you do not have cash. Good quality and great customer service.

This Modern American cuisine has a menu to drool for. Oxtails are off the bone juicy and not always available. This place has stand up comedy on the last Thursday of each month. They have a small upscale bar and accomodating staff that make sure you are being served properly.

If you are an early bird or are looking to get a cheap lunch, this is the place. Happy hour is from 11 am to 7 pm and they have $5 lunches available from 11 am to 4 pm. This is a sports bar and while it is family oriented, the music can be loud. For this reason, you'd be pleased to know they have a backyard to eat from, and you do have to go down steps for that. You are able to sit at the bar and eat as well.
If you are interested in watching a game, or want to try some hookah, it is a 5 minute walk from the apartment.

Beautiful spot. No happy hour but there are two bars. One inside and the other in their amazing backyard which they have rustically decorated; matching the inside. Attentive staff are also happy to serve you at a table in front of the venue if you would like to sit outside under some shade. It is in the same block of Isham Park. This American restaurant closes at 9 pm and is conveniently located about a ten minute walk from the apartment.

LIterally two block down from the apartment and on the strip across from Mamajuana (Dominican American). This Japanese-Dominican style cuisine has tables in front of the venue where you can also enjoy people watching. You can order delivery or pick up orders from them as well. It is a well known place and it is open until late; for a perfect date.

If you decide to look into this place, you are supporting a local business as well as all other places I have posted here. People here work hard and are innovators in their passion. Floridita is a Latin American restaurant and you may need to speak Spanish to place an order via phone with them. Language barrier will not matter if you place an order through Uber Eats. The 10th avenue location is open 24 hours. I would say you get a bang for your buck here. They have pork options here, if you like that. This is one of my favorite places to order from, but I have not visited the venue yet.

New place. Very small but it has a cute outdoor space that is on the street but not exactly out in the open. What I recommend is passing by and checking out their menu. Across the street there is a small taco spot as well and on the next two corners you will find a rooftop place (La Republica) that is across from Chase bank but I have not visited so I do not have an intake on that rooftop place besides I've seen people gather in front of it/at the corner for celebrations with friends and family. All a five minute walk from the apartment. Casa Tuya closes at 2 am.

This place is known for their soup. You cannot go wrong. Check out their menu or take a ten minute walk there for other nearby options with beautiful eye catching decor from the outside. Yes, you can eat outside in front of their venue. They have sidewalk tables. It is on the same block from Grandpa's pizza and a tattoo parlor, deli, and Yummy Thai. Very close to a beautiful Roman Catholic Church.

Wine bar which you can find online for more information. It is popular but I am unsure if reservations are needed here. Five minute walk. Diagnally located to Starbucks and on the same block as Mc Donalds and Bank of America.

This chain pizza only has an option of six different slices. One of them being lobster. Another being the name itself; artichoke which they make creamy and tasty if you are open to it. They are thick and larger than your average pizza slice. Very filling and can be shared as an option. You can find them throughout the city or downtown Brooklyn. The spot on 14th street may have a line outside.

Nice cafe with tables both in front and in the back. Americano and lattes are all a part of their menu. Open early and close early too. They are on the way to the train so convenient for people to stop by. Pastries are also in their menu.

Neighborhoods
This island is approximately 1.5 miles long by 0.5 miles wide. You can drive here and be there is 20-35 minutes or take a cab. There are two public buses that take you there, if you are interested. Lots of seafood places and you will see this community is a hidden gem in the Bronx. They have a library, a school, nail salons, supermarkets, pharmacies, and antique stores. I would say it can take 20-30 minutes to walk this Avenue to the end. And there are places with affordable prices.

Sightseeing
Although it is about an hour and a half away on public transportation (Similar to city island on public transportation.) During the summer, on Friday evenings aws the sun goes down, boats prepare and station themselves at sea to set off fireworks. People go to the beach to enjoy this and relax. Enjoy funnel cake, hot dogs, or a cold drink by the boardwalk. They have public bathrooms and changing rooms also that are available. You can rinse off the sand by the boardwalk also at destined points they have shower heads available for your use. Since it is a public outdoor place, you may see more police activity and on the beach as well as there are no alcoholic beverages allowed. This also helps avoid broken glass in sand. They have lifeguards on duty until around sun set time. If you are not a crowd person, I would not recommend this.

NEW attraction where there is very often events or food stands around to enjoy the time there. Close to the water, (Hudson River) Javits Center, and the 7 train. The 7 train takes you into Queens (Citi Field) if you are interested in watching a Mets game during the season.
