There are few things more New York than eating veal parm on Arthur Avenue while four voices in harmony drift in singing doo-wop, and The Belmont 4 make that happen. The a cappella quartet from the neighborhood pops into restaurants and walks the blocks around Arthur Avenue, bringing old-school harmonies to dinner. If you have been meaning to do a Bronx Little Italy food night, pick one of these evenings.
What to expect
The group moves through the district over two hours, so you might hear them outside on the avenue or catch a song in the restaurant where you are eating. There is no stage or set location; plan dinner or dessert in the neighborhood and let them find you.
Good to know
- Performances are roving, so there is no fixed spot to wait.
- Take the B/D to Fordham Rd or the Metro-North Harlem Line to Fordham and walk east, or the Bx12 bus.
- Make a dinner reservation on busy weekend evenings.
- Pick up bread, cannoli or fresh mozzarella from the neighborhood's markets before you leave.
