City Island: a fishing village at the end of the Bx29

In Long Island Sound off the Bronx, reached by one bridge and a bus — the 6 to Pelham Bay Park, then the Bx29 down an avenue of seafood spots and boatyards.

City Island doesn't feel like New York, which is the point. It sits in Long Island Sound off the Bronx's northeast shore, connected to the mainland by a single bridge. There's no subway on the island.

Getting there is a two-part trip: the 6 train to its Pelham Bay Park terminus, then the Bx29 bus down City Island Avenue. The avenue is the whole show — seafood restaurants and boatyards lined up along it, the closest thing the five boroughs have to a New England fishing village.
