It looked WONDERFUL!! And all those ice sculptures!! I bet they were a bloody fortune!!!


Are you kidding SB ? You don't even have to be a Bronx native to know the Marina !

Not just weddings either, a very dear family friend, held a springtime dance there every year. I even recall going to a Bar Mitvah there, for one of my boyhood Jewish friends, like 30 years ago.

Honestly though, over the years, Villa Barone has become just as good. Minus the views, of course.

I think I'll go to Joe and Joe's on Bruckner and Castle Hill for a beer. Oh wait, they closed almost 5 years ago !

Yeah SB, the old Bronx is a changin'
