Boogie Down Grind: hip-hop over coffee

Hip-hop runs through the menu at Boogie Down Grind, where you can order a KRS Kortado, Mos Def Mocha or De Latte Soul. For something sweeter, the Biz Markie Bombon combines espresso with condensed milk, whipped cream and cocoa. The names are playful, but the Big Punini supplies a substantial lunch: roasted turkey, cheese, olive spread and greens on focaccia from Bronx Il Forno.

Hunts Point Riverside Park: a riverfront reclaimed

Residents turned a debris-strewn street end into Hunts Point Riverside Park, where you can now picnic beside the Bronx River and look out over its working waterfront. Plantings frame a public space with barbecue stands, an amphitheater and a fishing pier. The river view is the year-round draw; the boat launch also connects the park to the neighborhood’s hands-on river programs.

Tiffany Street Pier: farther south, open water

People come to Tiffany Street Pier to fish, walk out over the water and use the exercise equipment. You can make the pier itself your destination for an open-water view on the southern part of the peninsula.
