Arthur Avenue’s authentic dining experience delights visitors year after year. Within a few footsteps in this beloved Bronx neighborhood, you can revel in some of the most authentic cuisine, culture, and commodities outside of Italy. Dubbed "the Real Little Italy," this extraordinary community is home to numerous businesses that are still owned and operated by the same families that started them over a century ago. Guests from across the globe come to sample the tastes and traditions of this historic enclave, where the air is filled with the aroma of fresh-baked bread, aged cheeses, and simmering sauces.
Experience the rich heritage of the Bronx on this "transportation only" day trip. You will have the day to explore historic Arthur Avenue at your own pace, perusing the legendary shops, delis, and restaurants that line the streets.

It is also home to the world-renowned "Mike’s Deli," where you can witness the art of mozzarella making firsthand. Whether you are looking to stock up on imported delicacies or enjoy a leisurely lunch at a sidewalk cafe, this trip offers the ultimate flexibility to immerse yourself in a true New York staple.
