Made me happy to read about my neighborhood and see my own backyard in your photos! Sadly, the pedestrian bridge to the promenade is still closed to this day. I've been walking to the water through the entrance on firefighter jimmy riches way, which is also the exit/entrance to the belt parkway. Anyway, thank you for this!

Also famous for the scene in French Connection when Gene Hackman nearly runs into a baby during arguably one of the best cinematic chase scenes ever!

Do not, repeat, do not go to Tommaso’s! It’s really sad there. The food isn’t great. G Cafe is excellent, for Italian go to Ortobello’s or hit Pastosa Ravioli and cook at home! RIP Lenny’s but Rob’s on Bay Parkway is some of the best pizza in the city!
