Angelina Zeppieri: "All of the bread, pastries, cakes, etc are handmade and baked fresh! Get an "S" roll buttered, a slice of tiramisu cake or some Italian pastries. Yum!"
Time Out New York: "Watch choo-choos go vroom-vroom at the Holiday Train Show. A dozen model trains traverse an incredibly detailed NYC scene, including landmarks like the Empire State Building & Radio City Music Hall."
Serious Eats: "Head there for strufoli, deep fried balls of dough mixed with honey sold during the holidays, and fresher renditions of treats like pasticiolla."
Scott Moreau: "EVERYTHING is great here. The Brussels sprouts are AMAZING, and I suggest asking for a side of spicy honey regardless of what pizza you get. You can never go wrong with the Miele Melanzane, or POTD"
boland: "The holiday train show!!! Go on a weekday, weekends are rough, wouldn't wish that on anyone. Great for kids and they can run around the grounds to get their energy out afterwards"
Justin Ordoveza: "The overall collection is impressive, with displays of tropical rainforests to deserts. The greenhouse is the perfect getaway from winter weather."
Serious Eats: "Joe's Italian Deli sells a denser ricotta (perfect for cheesecakes or mixed with maple syrup), buratta, and trecia, dried mozzarella stretched into a plait."
Jenna Odett Laskin: "For a quick bite before or after the Bronx Zoo or Botanical Gardens, don’t miss sandwiches from Joe’s. And a fresh mozzarella!"
