Around Belmont
While Arthur Avenue really is the heart of Belmont, living on the busy street isn’t for everyone. Most locals would prefer proximity to Bronx Park to a busy avenue. St. Barnabas Hospital sits on the southern end of the neighborhood, so living in this part of the area gets more ambulance noise and occasional traffic. East 187th Street serves as a thoroughfare for Belmont and is home to beautiful apartment complexes. Single-family homes are more commonly occurring on the residential side streets.
If you’re in the mood for Italian cuisine, Belmont is the place to find it. Dining options are sprinkled throughout the neighborhood, but the highest concentration of restaurants can be found on Arthur Avenue. Here, delis stand next to formal establishments with tablecloths. There are wine shops and specialty meat shops, plus chain grocery stores if Italian food isn’t what you’re in the mood for.
There’s a feeling of community in the air when it comes to Belmont. The streets are friendly, filled with neighbors who have called Belmont home forever. The proximity of Fordham University, Bronx Park, The Bronx Zoo, and the New York Botanical Garden, all makes for a prime location. Belmont is mostly made up of single- and multi-family homes, with a few apartment complexes on the smaller side scattered throughout.
Friday night in Belmont has to involve some sort of Italian dinner. Try Antonio's Trattoria, known for its brick-oven pizzas and traditional Italian dishes. Don’t forget to save room for dessert at Uncle Louie G—home of gelato. After dinner, take a walk along the side of the park or through the streets of Belmont. Some restaurants offer live music just outside their front door to herald the coming weekend.
A beautiful Sunday in Belmont starts with a glorious run to the deli. The only question—which deli to pledge your allegiance to? Tino’s seems to be a local favorite for all things meat, cheese, and loads of pantry goods. Grab a pastry to go on your way out. Take your goods to the nearby Ciccarone Park, where no matter how early it is on the weekend, a bocce ball game has likely begun. Enjoy a walk at sunset in Bronx Park.
Belmont is accessible by the Bx15 bus as well as the Metro-North Railroad at 3rd Avenue. Taking the train puts a commute into Grand Central Station at around 35 minutes. Residents commonly walk Belmont itself for errands, since everything is in a roughly ten-block radius. Getting to other areas of the Bronx is a job for the bus, which runs local and express with decent consistency.
