If you like history and/or American Literature and/or poetry, it's pretty cool to see the house where Edgar Allen Poe lived, and by extension how the Bronx must have looked in the 1800s. They were doing renovations when we were there in June 2021, so we didn't get to go into the little museum or get close to the house. There's also a playground nearby for kids!

We were visiting from OK and were so excited to get to see what people were calling "The real Little Italy". The market is pretty cool - lots of fresh vegetables, along with deli items, cured meats, pasta, cheeses, and more all direct from Italy. There were great italian lunch options and a place where people were hand rolling cigars. I so wish we were staying long enough to buy some produce!
