After a nice morning or afternoon at the Bronx Zoo, UltimateMama and her family dart over to Arthur Avenue for a nice meal and some homestyle Italian food shopping!

Do not leave Arthur Avenue without stocking up on prepared eggplant parmigiana, cheese, cured meats (prosciutto), focaccia, and more from Mike’s Deli on Arthur Avenue in the Bronx.  Even Bobby Flay frequents Mike’s Deli and met with him for a Food Network Throwdown!

For Arthur Avenue bread try Madonia Brothers Bakery — a must!

If you want to hit an Arthur Avenue restaurant with your family try Zero Otto Nove or Roberto!

Modern Art, Sea Lion-Style at the Bronx Zoo

Who
knew the Bronx Zoo was home to aspiring Kandinskys and Pollocks?
Painting is the newest activity for cute, playful sea lions at the
zoo—watch sea lions Indy, Cleo or Kiani create masterpieces as they
demonstrate their painting skills to the public. Sea lion painting does
not have a set schedule; however, when it occurs it takes place during
regular feeding times at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. daily. The Bronx Zoo (Exit
6 off the Bronx River Parkway), 718-367-1010, bronxzoo.com. —Kristen
