About Hunts Point

Hunts Point is home to one of the world’s largest food distribution centers and is located on a peninsula of South Bronx. On the whole, the neighborhood isn’t oozing charm upon arrival, but there’s something about the open air and mostly identical brick buildings that feel like home. The Bronx River separates the peninsula from neighborhoods like Soundview and Clason Park, while the East River stands between Hunts Point, Rikers Island, and College Point. The neighborhood is large in size, with a relatively quiet feeling, thanks to its proximity to the water.

Around Hunts Point

Most of the housing available in Hunts Point is located in high-rise and mid-rise apartment buildings. There are no single-family homes situated on tree-lined streets or cul-de-sacs. Part of what makes Hunts Point so unapologetically itself is its straightforwardness. Delivery stations and food distribution centers take place close to the water, so more residential offers are closer inland, which means closer to the two small parts in the neighborhood and public transportation.

While some neighborhoods—especially in the Bronx—offer food only on a few streets, Hunts Point is a scattering of locally owned and beloved small restaurants. Oak Point Avenue and Randall Avenue are just a few of the spots where residents can find neighborhood favorites like City Tamale, Delfini Restaurant, and Fratilli’s Pizza. Food spots tend to skew more casual than upscale, and some offer 24-hour service.

Entering Hunts Point by bus puts you right at the edge of the residential and commercial area toward the East River. You’ll see large swatches of towering buildings with trucks coming and going. As you walk further inland, expect to see brick-lined buildings with lots of floors. Hunts Point Library is near Bill Rainey Park, two of the neighborhood’s more valued institutions. The view into Soundview Park across the Bronx River is also a hidden gem.

Hunts Point isn’t home to any late-night options, and the only options are small hookah bars and dive bars. If you’re more keen to keep things Bronx-based, try an evening in Clason Point, soaking up all that Soundview Park has to offer.

A Sunday in Hunts Point should start with Boogie Down Grind, a local coffee shop frequented by residents. Small, cozy, and bustling with regulars, the cafe represents what so many people treasure about living in the Bronx. Then, take the bus to Hunts Point Riverside Park, which mirrors Soundview Park across the river. Once an illegal dumping ground, the area has been transformed into a recreational hotspot. If you’re brave, people travel from across the city to canoe and kayak these waters.

There are no subway lines that service Hunts Point. Instead, opt for the Bx6 or Bx46, which stops at the 6 train just outside of the neighborhood at Hunts Point Avenue. Travel time through this system to Grand Central takes about 45 minutes. Owning a car is semi-popular, but street parking is the only option for most owners. For instance, driving into Dumbo, Brooklyn takes 35 minutes with no traffic.
