Deirdre on reading, writing and living - Tour Da Bronx

Feb. 27th, 2009 07:22 pm Tour Da Bronx

Robert, my best friend and maid of honor, and I spent a very pleasant day in The Bronx.



We went to Wave Hill, a wonderful park owned by the City of New York. It had spectacular views of the Palisades:



Gardens and a green house:



According to the brochure Wave Hill House "has hosted guests, among them T.H. Huxley and Charles Darwin. Famous tenants included Theodore Roosevelt, Mark Twain, Arturo Toscanini, Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, visited during the British Delegation's tenancy from 1950-1956."

We then tootled over to City Island for some of their legendary seafood.



It was a wonderful day.

PS City Island is totally worth it. Go to the end of the main street and there it is.

Well I can't say that I'm an expert on Brooklyn. I do live in Jersey so its not like I'm that far away but I've only been there once.
