Hi Anthony,
I love your show but I was disapointed with the Outer Boroughs episode. I'm from the Bronx and you totally dismissed it. The Bronx was featured for like 1/4 of a segment while Queens and Brooklyn had a whole segment and a half each. I understand it was snowy but you never got past Yankee Stadium. What about City Island, Arthur Avenue, Golden Krust, the Bronx Zoo? With so many West Indians, Dominicans, and Ricans there should have been more greasy pork with rice and beans. The Bronx also has the best pizza. I would suggest visiting one of the pizza parlors on Allerton Avenue. I think you should do a show featuring the Bronx, Washington Heights, and Harlem and call it "Uptown". Here's some tips: If you go to City Island go to the last restaurant all the way down on the right. It has a high school cafeteria atmosphere but with stiff $5 drinks and awesome seafood for a good price. There's a ton of really good authentic Italian restaurants on Arthur Avenue. Get a loaf of bread while you're there; it's so fresh. There's some excellent Domincan places in the heights where the chicken falls right off the bone. Well even you don't feature the Bronx on your show again I hope you go there again some day. The Bronx Zoo and Botanical Gardens are beautiful on a nice crisp fall day. Thanks for your time. Best Wishes, Renee Lakowitz |

I love the show and thought this was a great episode but I agree the coverage was slanted to queens and brooklyn.
I grew up in the bronx. Great italian has always been there. Unreal cuban, dominican, carribean. Where were these? Dig a little deeper in the follow up please (hint hint) |
