The Bronx--Little Italy



















Yesterday we took a trip to the Bronx. Mitch & Suzanne gave us a set of 50 cards, each one of which is a suggested short trip to a specific part of the city. Hence, we went to the Bronx. The directions from The Grand Concourse (which was the subway station we were instructed to exit) did not show us how far we were from the destination (Arthur Avenue). I am thinking we walked a mile but I always exaggerate. Once we got there, we found out there was a bus we could take back to the subway. We bought homemade, fresh Italian sausage, salted anchovies from a huge bag sitting on the counter, and Italian tomatoes (Francesconi brand) that are to die for. We also bought bread. So, for dinner last night I made sausage and peppers in tomato sauce and I want to tell you: the trip was worth it. There are also wonderful looking restaurants and seafood markets.
