We are officially nearing the end of NYC Restaurant Week, but you still have a few days to get out and sample some of the city's finest restaurant offerings through multi-course, prix fixe menus at accessible prices!
Known to locals as a food mecca, The Bronx is one of NYC's best-kept secrets for dining. From its own "Little Italy" to the borough's diverse population, there are a range of gastronomic experiences for a variety of palates. Here are a few to consider.
Chocobar Cortés
Mott Haven
Easily one of the most unique restaurants in The Bronx, Chocobar Cortés is both a restaurant and a living family legacy. Helmed by the fourth generation of the Cortés family—a Puerto Rican family specializing in chocolate making—the restaurant's fascinating menu incorporates chocolate into any item, even non-dessert dishes.
The Croquetas de Jamón Serrano, for instance, are made with ham, tomato-garlic sauce, dark chocolate, and manchego cheese.

MichaelAngelo's
Belmont
Located on Arthur Avenue—the heart of Little Italy—Michelangelo's is one of the most popular places in The Bronx for classic, NYC-style pizza and pasta. If you're not looking to try the pizza, indulge in a homestyle plate of lasagna that will have you humming "Volare" in no time.

Flava's Restaurant and Lounge
