Before

short ride recommended · 5 min - South Bronx - Melrose

A taqueria on the Jackson Avenue corner that runs from nine in the morning until eleven at night, carnitas being the thing people come for. There is a mezcal list alongside the tacos and a proper sit-down dining area rather than a counter. It has been on this corner long enough to be the default Mexican place in this part of the South Bronx.

After

Long walk · 0.8 mi · 15 min walk; 2 min ride - South Bronx - Melrose

A bar on East 161st that opened in 1927, the same year as the original Stadium across the street, and has been feeding and watering the same crowd since. It is a long wood bar with televisions and photographs everywhere. The menu starts with wings and burgers. Sandwiches fill out the rest. On game days it is packed solid and there is a line on the sidewalk. On any other day you walk in and sit down.
