Frommer's Review
This colorful, enclosed market opened in the heart of the Bronx's Little Italy in 1940 and is my absolute favorite. The market, like the Bronx, has had its ups and downs but now is thriving. You'll find fresh-produce purveyors, such as Biano fruits and vegetables, and Joe Liberatore's Garden of Plenty, where I buy the best tomato plants for my terrace. There is Peter's Market, for homemade sausages and braciole; Mike's Deli, for freshly made mozzarella and sandwiches; Café al Mercato, for their amazing broccoli rabe pizza and pasta fiogoli; the Arthur Avenue Baking Company, for loaves of pane di casa and Parmesan breadsticks; and even La Casa Grande Tobacco Company, where they roll their own cigars.
