If you have some time to spend in New York, I would suggest a day in the Belmont section of the Bronx. Go to the Bronx Zoo or Botanical Gardens, and then dinner on Arthur Avenue. I highly recommend Pasquale Rigoletto (reservations recommended), or some Italian ices or pastry at Egidio's. If you have a nice day, it's a beautiful way to spend it.
Yes, that is the exact neighborhood I grew up in. My grandmother still lives there. You will love it!!!
