I love great steak as well as great seafood, however it is almost impossible to find a restaurant to satisify both needs.. But I did find one on City Island, Sammy's fishbox. I ordered a steak and maine lobster surf & turf. It was incredible the losbster was tender, full and sweet and the steak was cut with a fork tender and delicious..I highly recommed this place..a real surprise but one I can't wait to repeat.
Pros: fish & staek

We went and watched the Yankees vs. the Oakland A's last night. I'd never been to Yankee Stadium - my dad and my uncle grew up in the Bronx and went regularly. My uncle took me - we had spectacular seats five rows up between home and first. I got chills when I walked in the ballpark and looked around - you can really feel the history from 1923 of this place. It's a shame that they are tearing it down in a few years to replace it with a new ballpark - if you haven't had a chance to go to it, make sure you do before it goes away.
In the expensive seats, they actually have an automated ordering system for food. The "orders" wander around with wireless devices taking your order. The food shows up in a few minutes brought by a separate person. The company that does this is called CenterPlate - very swank.

Sure, Yankee Stadium is not in great shape, and it's not as luxurious as newer ballparks like the new stadium being built across the street. But when you walk into Yankee Stadium, you walk into where some of the greatest moments in baseball history happened, and you really feel the presence of all that incredible history. As a Yankee fan, I always have a great time when I come to a game here, and I'm so glad I'll get to go to one more game before the end of this season. It may be gone soon, but it will always be a special place for baseball fans.

This zoo is positively huge and the animal exhibits are very natural. You may want to get the annual pass because you could never see the whole place in one day and the pass will pay for itself in two visits. Wednesday is donation day you get in for $5 but it is definitely more crowded that day.

This is not shi-shi Manhattan restaurant food. Nor is it touristy Little Italy food slathered bread crumbs and oil. It's hearty, scrumptious Italian food in a cozy (even romantic) setting. I went for lunch on a weekday at opening (Noon), so no wait. The staff was very attentive.
I made the mistake of eating alone. The portions are just too big to do that. Go with a friend, or two or three, share an appetizer, and leave plenty of room for the main. Very home-style desert - go for the less usual. I had a sort of ricotta torte w/ grains, a savory sweet thing that was heaven with the espresso (oh so perfect).
Pros: great service, delicious food, nice setting
Cons: a touch pricey for Bronx
