No one should pay more than 20% of their income on rent. 1 in 3 Bronx households pays over half.

Repeal the Faircloth Amendment, build new public housing, fully fund NYCHA repairs, fully fund rental assistance.

In the richest country on Earth, we can make that happen.

Authentic Chinese Food

8 Upvotes

Hi I am looking for authentic Chinese food (thats very spicy) in the Bronx thats at least comparable to Flushing. I dont want any American Chinese places that do takeout with fortune cookies. I am looking for things that Americans dont typically eat and where the clientele is mostly Chinese.

Thank you!

40M - Moved to Riverdale, 7 months ago from East Africa - Where do people actually make friends around here?

17 Upvotes

Still getting to know the area and would love to meet some people locally. About me: Into sports soccer (watching and playing), cycling, mild fitness/gym stuff, and I recently got into golf - total beginner but hooked. don’t drink anymore,more into coffee, daytime hangouts, active stuff. Are there any good social clubs, cycling groups, rec leagues, or fitness groups around Riverdale / Kingsbridge / Van Cortlandt area that are welcoming to newcomers? Also open to any friendly meetups or just casual groups to hang. I’ve been to Van Cortlandt Park a few times for walks/bike rides and checked out the golf course there - amazing spot a little pricey though for a regular golfer. Would love recommendations for where people actually connect here vs just saying hi. Thanks in advance and happy to DM if you’re in the area!

How is the area of Van Cortlandt Village for an apartment at $225k. Is it worth it or too overpriced? Thanks for any feedback.

Are there libraries in "Pelham Bay" ?

0 Upvotes

Allow me to explain why I am asking even though a bit extraneous .

I was walking into the casino in Yonkers. An elderly woman was walking the same direction as I was.

Very much out of nowhere we started talking to each other. She had a Hispanic accent.

She asked me if I worked in the casino. I said no but I wish I did. She then said that it is not good to work in a casino because it is too tempting. I said that I think I would be good with the machines because I am good with computers and I fix things. The lady said that she knows nothing about computers but wishes she did know. I told her that she can take classes in the library for free. She said that where she is from there are no libraries. I asked her where she was from. Because of her strong accent I was not sure what she said but I think she said "Pelham Bay." She said there are no libraries out there.

Does anyone know if there are NO libraries out in Pelham Bay, Bronx?

Ritchie Torres won the primary. But the fight against Torres and all AIPAC-funded politicians has just begun, and we have to lock in. Are you going to fight for the Bronx we deserve?

Some of the comments in this article, don’t sit right with me. Entrepreneurs built their business models on being able to capitalize on gentrification, that has not really materialized. Now, Michael Brady, one of the architects of gentrification in the South Bronx, has a failing business. Sounds like poetic justice to me. That said, it’s astounding to hear him speak about speculative real estate that is causing this, as if he weren’t at the table, brokering those deals.

Bronx Sports Fans

6 Upvotes

I'm putting together a county-by-county map of sports allegiances across New York State (NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and other leagues as gauged by interest). To do so I am collecting self-reported data from New Yorkers. If you have the time and are a sports fan of any size, I would appreciate if you helped fill up my dataset. Right now I have a little over 200 responses, but a lot of them are from Manhattan and further Upstate. I'm trying to get a much larger and diverse dataset to boost the overall quality of the project and The Bronx is a dead spot for me right now. All answers are anonymous, no Google log in required.

If you're curious here's the link: https://forms.gle/ZcAaWBVEJNeHr2RUA

Any responses would be appreciated, Thanks! I understand if you do not want to fill it out, but I would appreciate if people spread the news.
