You can’t beat a Saturday afternoon on Arthur Ave. in the Bronx.  My friend Danielle suggested taking a drive down there and I jumped at the idea.  Here’s a photo tour of our visit:

Teitel Brothers is a popular place for all kinds of Italian-American groceries. 

I picked up some sundried peppers and a chunk of pecorino.

Mmm, fresh bread at Addeo Bakery.

Meats at the butcher shop.  Um, ignore the sign for “Fresh Killed Rabbits”. 

Grabbing a slice at Full Moon Pizza.  Love the fresh mozzarella. 

Danielle’s slice is certifiably “ginormous”. 

I got a cup of cantaloupe gelato at Palombo Caffe.  So refreshing. 

The Arthur Ave. Retail Market has some great produce and gourmet grocers.

Danielle has a weird looking head and I bought some beautiful tomatoes.

Tripe anyone?  How about beef feet?

And finally, a first for me, prosciutto bread from Madonia Brothers Bakery.  Can’t wait to try it!
