Van Nest is the section of The Bronx where I grew up. Some people consider it part of Morris Park, but we--and now you--know better.
My first address was 1922 Hunt Ave., Bronx, NY 10462. Hunt Ave. rocks. Just so you know. That address put me a block from the number 5 train, and a block and a half up Sagamore St. away from the Bronx Park East station on the number 2 line. I was lulled to sleep nightly by the subways rolling by, which is, I think, why I can't sleep without at least a little noise.

OK, enough family stuff. 50+ speed dating plymouth indiana. On to:
Frankie and Johnnie's Pine Restaurant
AKA The Pine Tavern, this is quite possibly the greatest restaurant in the world. Get here early on the weekends or wait upwards of an hour, regardless of what they tell you at the door. If you like seafood, you cannot possibly go wrong here with the Mussels and then a Zuppa di Pesce. Just bring an extra person or two to help you with the portion sizes. I love this place.

OK, we're biased, but the greatest Boston Creme Pie in the world? Come here.
Enjoy the rest of the stuff in here, too. The smell is enough to get you crazy.

This is the place where Unionport Rd., White Plains Rd. and Van Nest Ave. come together. As far as I remember there's little of tremendous interest here. But right nearby are St. Dominic's Roman Catholic Church, a nice place to visit; also look for St. Dominic's Grammar School, whose illustrious class of 1960 included such luminaries as John Fornabaio, Francis Degano, and one Eugene Orza, now General Counsel of the MLB Players' Association.
Public Transportation access to my home neighborhood:
Subway : Take the 2 train to Bronx Park East. If you're on the East Side, take the 5 to 180th St. and transfer.
