imo Emilio's Ballato is the best old school Italian restaurant in the city. Best bolognese and chicken parm I've ever had

I’ll be in nyc first time in a few months and am debating dinner in Bronx little Italy vs mulberry. Is it safe to assume mulberry is more touristy & Bronx is more authentic these days? Don’t give a shit about trying to spot wiseguys, just a good night out. The restaurants in the Bronx look good (Roberto’s, Antonio’s, Enzo’s, etc…)

Like Tony said Zero Otto Nove is the best place on Arthur Ave. I’ve been there on his recommendation and it was top notch. Thing about the Bronx is, it’s the fucking Bronx so if you’re trying to go out after dinner for drinks go to a restaurant in Manhattan (Don Angie, Emilios Balato, Malatesta) even Brooklyn has better nightlife than the Bronx.

In other news one of Brooklyns oldest spots Ferdinando’s Focacceria recently closed for good after a 121 year run, a damn shame.

Nothing a quick cab back to manhatten can’t take care of… We’re staying in midtown so I’m sure we’ll check out Chinatown & Little Italy during the day. Is Arthur Ave worth getting dropped off before dinner to check out on foot shops & whatnot?

I wouldn't call it a quick cab ride from midtown to Arthur Ave. Close to 45 minutes one way in the car and close to an hour one way on the subway.

45 if you're lucky! If you're unlucky, you might wait 45 minutes just to go a couple exits on the cursed Cross Bx lol.
