"This tiny Bronx grocery on Arthur Ave. specializes in stretchy mozzarella and other pasta filata cheeses. The classic Casa keeps things simple with prosciutto, sun-dried peppers, and balsamic, which really lets that fresh cheese shine. If you don’t want to hike to (or pay for) the Bronx Zoo or Botanical Garden, Ciccarone Park is just a block away—and it has a bocce ball court." - willa moore, will hartman, bryan kim, sonal shah
"In the spirit of sincerity, take someone on a cheesy, romantic date to Orchid Evenings at the New York Botanical Gardens, which starts this Saturday and continues through April. Your ticket includes entry to this year's Orchid Show, a truly gorgeous installation of thousands of orchids transformed into a kaleidoscope of colors. (Ooh la la, and all that.) The Garden is teaming up with Bronx Night Market to bring you some of the Bronx’s finest food vendors and signature cocktails at the bar, and, on Saturdays, you can also have dinner on site at the Hudson Garden Grill. You can buy your tickets and select a time to see the Orchid Show here." - neha talreja
"Sure, that guy at work whose entire personality seems to be craft beer is annoying, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a fun afternoon enjoying brews and live music without all the snobbery. This Saturday, head to the New York Botanical Garden for Bales & Ales, where you can get unlimited samples from a bunch of local breweries, see fermentation demos, and play lawn games. Food trucks will also be on site. More info and tickets here." - neha talreja
"A 250-acre garden in the Bronx with over a million plants and seasonally spectacular displays — think spring peonies, magnolias, and 543 cherry trees in late March–mid April — plus a rose garden (May–October), year-round azalea and orchid collections, and extensive horticultural programming." - Lauren Dana Ellman Lauren Dana Ellman Lauren Dana Ellman is a New York-based writer and editor who specializes in travel, lifestyle, food, and shopping content.
