What the Bronx lacks in the generally horrible chain restaurants, we more than make up for it with our mom and pop culinary establishments.

From the collection of Mexican, Puerto Rican and Dominican, Ecuadorian, African restaurants in Melrose to the seafood fare of City Island or the great pubs of Woodlawn, and Italian restaurant galore whether in Belmont on Arthur Avenue or Morris Park and Throggs Neck, we have so much to choose from.

We really want to know which your favorites are so please let us know in the comments section!
