Last week I took the train to New York City. I exited the train at the Fordham Station in the Bronx. I have been getting off the train quite a bit in Fordham. I have found the Bronx is to be very walk-able and there is a lot to see and do there.
This trip was an easy walk. I went to Arthur Avenue for lunch. If you haven’t been you must go. Arthur Ave is only a ten-minute walk from the train station. If you want to enjoy Italian food this is the place to go. They have a food store that still makes sausages the old-fashioned way.
After lunch I walked over to the Bronx Botanical Garden. Always a nice place to visit.
This summer the theme is “Alice in Wonderland.”
This rabbit topiary is just one of many items at the Garden.
The train from Stamford to Fordham takes 50 minutes and the is a train every half hour doing the day. Both Arthur Avenue and the Botanical Garden can be walked to in less than fifteen minutes. Uber or Lyft is an alternative if you want to save your walking for the garden.
Enjoy.
