Throughout the city, certain blocks will be closed to cars so local restaurants can spread out in an oft-cramped city environment.
“While Little Italy in the Bronx has been operating during COVID-19 due to our essential businesses including butchers, pharmacies, fish markets, delis, bakeries, pizzerias, and many other specialty stores and services, we have looked forward to reopening our restaurants which make up the other half of our historic, multi-generational neighborhood,” said Peter Madonia, Chairman of the Belmont Business Improvement District, in a statement.
