THE BARTOW PELL MANSION MUSEUM - THE BRONX (Near City Island)

Visiting this 1836 historic country mansion is such a wonderful way to spend a weekend afternoon. Architecture, antique and history buffs will be delighted at what this Greek Revival home (with wonderful touches of Federal Style) has to offer.  (Be sure to visit their website for a beautiful slide show, directions and to find out when the hour-long tours are scheduled.)  Afterwards, feel free to enjoy the beautiful grounds complete with koi pond and cherub fountain. And then perhaps head on over to City Island for your seafood fix!
