Opie and Aunt Bea Sighting!

City Island, The Bronx
But seriously…with a Main Street that will leave you wondering where
Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed are hiding, American flags waving from
nearly every home, and a collection of houses so varied that it would keep an
architectural buff happy for years, City Island (see more in post below) is definitely a place that homogenization and big develoment forgot. And to think that those
of us who live in the Bronx can, in less than a half an hour, visit
this little jewel of a spot any time we like! Check back for future photos
on City Island, because I plan to visit often, camera in tow. After all -
it’s a great excuse to treat myself to great seafood!!!

I feel like America The Beautiful should be playing in the background!!!
It is amazing that this exists so close to New York City. And in the Bronx is just incredible.
