Wild animals are making a comeback in The Bronx — and not at the Bronx Zoo.
Back in April, NYPD officer Derek Lenart spotted an unfamiliar animal which turned out to be a fisher which is related to the weasel family. This was the first reported sighting of a fisher within city limits in modern history.

Last night The Bronx held its first ‘Taste of The Bronx’ in several years but rather than choosing a Bronx location, Borough Hall decided to take it to Manhattan — and make it “by invitation only”.
Huh?
That’s pretty much the sentiment of many Bronx residents when they learned that they were being excluded from one of our very own events that celebrate our culinary offerings.

I am a second generation City Islander, born a Clam Digger in 1957. My late father also grew up on City Island. I own and live in the house on City Island that my father built with his own hands. There is no one who has more emotional and nostalgic attachment to the current City Island Bridge than I. When I was a child, before the turntable function of the bridge was permanently disabled and the bridge gratings paved over, the humming of cars and trucks passing over those gratings carried down the length of City Island and, on hot summer nights, with my bedroom window open, that comforting sound would lull me to sleep.
