Dear Reader:
a publication of:
Welcome to this bonus issue of Go Bronx Magazine celebrating the 9th annual Savor The Bronx Restaurant Week. We know that you want to find some good deals on good food this post-holiday season, and with a record 45 eateries participating this year from a variety of different cuisines, we are confident that you will find your new favorite hangout. But there’s more. This issue not only lists all the restaurants participating, but also includes a few interesting articles and some dishes for you home chefs to try out (starting on page 17). Mike’s Deli, Seis Vecinos and Moss Café provided a few of their secret recipes like Salvadoran Pupusas, Chef Dave Greco’s famous Eggplant Parmigiana and Emily’s Scottish Drop Scones. We’ve even included the borough’s signature Bronx Salad.
Special thanks goes to Isha Gutierrez-Sumner for her insights on the Garifuna culture, a thriving Bronx community as well as providing us with her famous Masapan Hudutu recipe (a staple dish of the Garifuna people). We also appreciate the work of Myra Alperson, whose tour company Noshwalks, focusses on ethnic food throughout New York City. We hope you enjoy discovering new flavors while learning more about the people and culture that make this such a great borough. Enjoy! Bon Apetit! Buon Apetito! Buen Provecho! And as the Garifunas say Lidan Dan! Bronxfully yours, Olga Luz Tirado Editor-in-Chief, Go Bronx Magazine Executive Director, The Bronx Tourism Council

Garifunas Adding Color To The Bronx!

providing help in the form of legal information on immigration status, and health and housing services. In the cold months they come for donations of warm clothes, and year-round, they come for that familiar community and a hot, familiar meal. “Wideha” That’s how we make it happen in the BX.
very Friday, I travel back to the coastal village of my youth in Honduras with our familiar native Garifuna language where pleasantries like “idabiña” or “gundatina narihinibu” (how are you? It’s good to see you) abound. San Juan Tela, located in the northern Caribbean coast, has always survived and flourished on the strength of its community, where we help and serve one another. In Garifuna, it’s called “Wideha,” translated as “We’re gonna help!”
In the current political and social climate in America, few places have the ability and willingness to service diverse immigrant communities like the Bronx. Since I arrived 30 years ago, hundreds of thousands of Garinagu have migrated from villages like mine in Honduras, Belize, Guatemala, and Nicaragua, in search of a better quality of life, more stability, safety and community. The vast majority of my people have sought refuge in community of The Bronx.
These coastal journeys back home have none of the warm sand; the abundant and ripe coconut trees don’t sway from that familiar cool breeze; boats are not coming in with Garifuna fisherman hauling in their catch from the morning’s work; there are no sounds of women laughing and singing in tandem as they do chores like laundry or their communal cooking.
Ours is a culture, rich in tradition, that finds expression in our language, music, dance, and most joyfully, in our cuisine. In my soon-to-be a self-published Garifuna cookbook, “Weiga, which means “Let’s Eat!” I talk about what I call our 4 Big Cs: Coconut, Cassava, Community and Continuity. I have learned great lessons in
These weekly journeys take me close to the Bronx Zoo, off Southern Boulevard, to continue that tradition of looking out for one another as I partake in volunteering for Garifuna Community Services. GCS works with newly arrived immigrants, PAGE 3
In turn, we also focus on capturing an audience of those wanting an enriching and diverse new experience. My team has cooked for the late Anthony Bourdain’s “Parts Unknown,” for Christopher Kimball’s Milk Street Magazine, where we shared one of our staple recipes for coconut flour tortillas. We've also collaborated with Bizarre Foods' Andrew Zimmern. The overly enthusiastic responses have served to further my

determination to preserve and share the Garifuna experience. In the spirit of that Bronx communal and individual ethos, I dream of having a kitchen exactly like the one we used in Gracie Mansion, dream of serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner in my own “Weiga, Let’s Eat!” restaurant in the BX, and dream of having cooking classes for Garifuna and non-Garifuna alike. Wideha has allowed our people from the coastal villages of Honduras to survive and flourish to this day, in the heartbeat of The Bronx, where communities service one another.

In the past two years “Weiga, Let’s Eat!” has branched out to include catering, with the consistent mission of preserving our food culture to service those in need of connecting with home. Our team includes my mother, sister and cousins, as well as skilled cooks and bakers who are friends from villages back home. We have served 1,000 meals in a day to an evangelical Men’s Garifuna conference, participated in Immigrant Cultural Week at Gracie Mansion, where we shared our famous Hudutu with Mayor Bill De Blasio and other international dignitaries. There have been Garifuna tasting dinners in downtown Manhattan and East and West Harlem for upwards of 75 people, and we’ve joyously done small intimate dinners catered to celebrate birthdays and retirements. “Weiga, Let’s Eat!” is all about “wideha.”

community development amongst my people, and to maintain our cultural continuity I have dedicated myself in the past few years to creating a comprehensive Garifuna cookbook that provides context and delves into our culture, shares vibrant pictures, and most importantly, shares our delicious recipes!

With a continued passion to share and preserve her own Garifuna culture, Isha has dedicated much of the past 7 years to documenting Garifuna cuisine in "Weiga, Let's Eat." Traveling back to Honduras with her assembled team, Isha has photographed and documented the depth and breadth of her people. For more information, contact her at weigaletseat@gmail.com

OFF THE EATEN PATH:
A United Nations of Bronx Flavors
T
by Myra Alperson
he Bronx is one of the most diverse boroughs in the city of New York. Of course there is no shortage of Puerto Rican, Dominican and Mexican restaurants considering the borough’s overall Latino population is over 50%. But The Bronx is also home to African, Middle Eastern and Asian communities, and the cuisine is evidence of it. In the Van Nest section one can enjoy a delicious Yemeni meal and then choose from one of four markets to buy exotic nuts, dips, cheeses and much more from North Africa and the Middle East. One such place is Al-Meraj, located on 1903 White Plains Road. YUMMY TIP: An all-time favorite is the fresh ground coffee with cardamom; the counterman will grind it on the spot for you.
Noshwalkers and a Bangladeshi shopowner at Starling Avenue, the main street of Parkchester’s “Little Bangladesh.”
The Bronx has, not one, but two Cambodian markets both within walking distance of each other. Phnom Penh-Nha Trang is located at 2639 Jerome Avenue and Battambang Market at 229 East Kingsbridge Road. You'll see products from Thailand, Vietnam, China and the Philippines. YUMMY TIP: Look for home-made specialties, including delicious banana fritters, red bean pudding and sticky rice, made from Cambodian recipes. The owners are always willing to help so don’t hesitate to ask. This borough also has some of the best Bangladeshi food around. Many markets and restaurants are clustered on or near Starling Avenue in the Parkchester section of The Bronx. A popular favorite is Bangla Garden at 1864 Westchester Avenue. The street level restaurant has just a handful of tables, but you can go downstairs to eat. Vegetarians will love the menu. Right next door is Bangla Town Supermarket at 1860 Westchester Avenue, with a great selection of products from South Asia and other specialties from around the world. YUMMY TIP: The spinach rice and their chicken kofta in a yogurt sauce is especially tasty. Myra Alperson is the founder and owner of Noshwalks and Noshnews. Noshwalks is a walking tour company that specializes in food tours. Go to www.noshwalks.com for more information, check Noshwalks on Facebook or send e-mail to noshwalks@aol.com. Customize your tour. It’s a great culinary adventure for friends, family, school groups or business colleagues.
