Eat the Bronx!

Savor the BronxI’ve already told you why you should visit the Bronx now, but here’s another good reason: “Savor the Bronx.” The Bronx’s version of restaurant week lasts through November 14. “Savor the City” Restaurant Week has 25 participants offering fabulous deals for lunch and dinner, and in some cases for both meals. You’ll need to contact each restaurant when you make your reservation to find out which meal applies and whether there are any restrictions.

Where indicated, L means lunch deal is offered for $16.41, and D means dinner is offered for $20.14.

Now’s the time to explore the Bronx — visit the Zoo, the Botanical Gardens, shop the markets on Arthur Avenue, stroll along City Island, and eat, eat, eat.  You can even pretend you know Dion and the Belmonts.
