Arthur Avenue Retail Market

A market that has a lot of history. Arthur Avenue Market was the epicenter of the mix of many cultures in the 1940s. Here, some of the first Italian immigrants settled, bringing to the Big Apple their tradition of putting cars on the streets to market products. This important event led many New York vendors to begin organizing what is now known as the Arthur Avenue Retail Market.

Over the years, this market grew to become a Bronx hub, where people gathered to trade. After the great success the Arthur Avenue Market Retail had a debacle caused by the difficult economic stage through which the city of New York passed in the late 60’s, but despite those difficult times the vendors managed to keep the Market and by the early 80’s had a revival, returning to be a very important place of New York culture and a meeting point for all who lived in the Bronx.

In addition to be a place that influenced the development of New York City there you can live first hand as is the life of someone who lives in the Big Apple, buy hundreds of souvenirs, eat at one of the restaurants that are in the Market and end the visit with a dessert from some of the Italian bakeries there.

The park was completely redesigned in 1936 and it is in this year that they put up the park’s two most famous monuments, the Louis J. Heintz statue and the Lorelei fountain. The redesign of the park made people visit the site and that’s when the Bronx community makes Joyce Park one of their favorite places to go for sports, cultural activities and to meet family or friends.

We recommend you visit the Joyce Park because it is a nice place to walk, where you can spend a quiet time, a park with some very beautiful monuments that are worth photographing and will also give you a different perspective of what many people think the Bronx is.
