| Walk west along Nereid Avenue and cross the bridge over the Bronx River Parkway. Directions: Take the 2 subway line to Nereid Avenue. It's also interesting to see how the high-numbered streets of New York City segue into the named streets of Yonkers. The area around McLean Avenue is also pleasant. These are the real thing, the kind of places that have a neighborhood, everybody-knows-your-name feel, serve draft beer at decent prices, and feature occasional music. The pubs aren't like the pseudo-Irish places in Manhattan, the ones that tack up a picture of a shamrock and advertise Guinness. McLean Avenue is lined with Irish pubs, shops selling Irish trinkets, and travel agents specializing in deals to Ireland. I discovered it one day when, finding myself in the northern part of New York City, I headed north until I found something interesting.
McLean Avenue is a little taste of Ireland just outside the New York City border, in Yonkers. The Ocean Parkway and Brighton Beach stations on the Q line are best for the Russian shops and restaurants, which you can see from the train. There's also a wide selection of imported chocolates and snacks. Then there are the Russian supermarkets, where you can get all kinds of canned fish and smoked fish and - of course - caviar. Here is food to suit every budget, from 50-cent pirozhki sold on the street to places where $20 gets you a satisfying quartet of appetizers to posh nightclub-restaurants where a dozen-course meal with vodka and dancing can set you back $75. Past the aquarium, walk up Brighton Beach Avenue to reach the Russian neighborhood of Brighton Beach. There's also an interesting museum with old Coney Island memorabilia, most of which is fascinating.
Obviously, Coney Island and Brighton Beach are so well-known that I can't claim to have discovered them as attractions - but combining them into a single excursion makes for a very pleasant day. For Greenwood Cemetery, take the R to 25th Street. When you emerge on Fourth Avenue, you can see the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway over Third Avenue, so you can walk in the opposite direction for Fifth and Eighth Avenues. Hundreds of people of historical note are buried here, and the place is also a pleasant park. There are other Asian supermarkets in the area that have slightly cheaper prices for some items, but the Hong Kong Supermarket's variety is unmatched, and the prices are pretty decent. Near the entrance to the store is a counter selling cheap, tasty rolls filled with pork, sausage, taro, and other ingredients. When I visited the mosque, a friendly Muslim a little younger than me showed me around, and we had a pleasant, peaceful discussion about Islam and Judaism. South on Eighth Avenue, at 59th Street, is the attractive Fatih Camii Mosque; next door is an Arab supermarket selling excellent baklava and other Middle Eastern pastries. Eighth Avenue is Brooklyn's Chinatown, with excellent dim sum, Asian supermarkets, and thrift shops. Take your pick of the attractive residential side streets to walk from Fifth Avenue to Eighth Avenue, and you'll feel the segue from Hispanic to Chinese. The avenue bustles with the sounds of Hispanic songs.
The subway runs down Fourth Avenue, stopping at 53rd and 59th Streets. Sunset Park is a relatively little-known section of Brooklyn north of Bay Ridge, and its population is largely Hispanic and Chinese. I owe my exploration of Sunset Park to Ellen Freudenheim's guidebook Brooklyn! Cross over the long access bridge and transfer to the Bx29 bus going to City Island. It's also just about the only place in New York City that serves hard-shell crabs.
Everyone is started off with a few pickled vegetables and some excellent bread. The place is friendly and simple, just as a casual seafood place should be. My favorite place to eat is the Crab Shanty, midway through the island. This is also where you see supermarkets and schools - people do live on City Island. The middle of the island is where the antique stores are found; there's also a good vintage-record shop. As you enter the island you see a few seafood restaurants and boat slips, and you soon pass Le Refuge Inn, an upscale restaurant and lovely bed and breakfast. There's only one main street, City Island Avenue, and everything of interest is on that street. Reached from mainland Bronx via the City Island Bridge, the island runs north-south for a couple of miles and is noted for its seafood restaurants, bed and breakfasts, and antique shops. City Island feels like a New England seaport town.
All of them are accessible by subway or a subway-and-bus combination. I've discovered four destinations that make for great one-day getaways.
