Artie’s - Another City Island Gem!

by Simone ·
ARTIE’S STEAK AND SEAFOOD - City Island, The Bronx
One of City Island’s many treasures.  Loved it! Fabulous food, impeccable service and a fresh, welcoming decor make this place a perennial favorite! And from the looks of the photos on the wall, people like Bill Clinton, Chaz Palminteri and Raquel Welch love it too! (Check out my other posts on City Island here, here and here)
 

Owner, Spiro with Kathy and Toni.  Great job, guys!

My wonderful friends down from Toronto - Diana and Kristina! (Yes, We Can-ada!)

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!!!

Island Life!

by Simone ·

City Island, The Bronx

  A trip to City Island (yes, IN THE BRONX!!) is a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon.  My friend Ava (who just moved to our borough from Colorado) took time off working on her doctorate (go girl!) to come check out another City Island restaurant with me.  The Sea Shore Restaurant and Marina (around since the twenties!) was a perfect choice - right on the water, outdoor seating offering a cool breeze, wonderful seafood and great prices. Afterwards, we walked around soaking in the quaint, small town atmosphere. Check back here at TheBronxRocks for future posts on the unbelievable diverse architecture of the homes on City Island.
