Giovanna Bellia La Marca will take you on a guided tour of this storied Italian neighborhood, introducing you to some of the extraordinary butchers, bakers, cheese makers and shop owners, describing typical and exotic ingredients and sharing recipes. This intimate section of the Bronx, justly famous for its food for generations, is the most authentic &147;Little Italy&148; in the city.

The class meets at 11 AM in front of Pete&39;s Meat Market, inside the Arthur Avenue Retail Market (2344 Arthur Avenue). Tours run rain or shine.
