Dear Neighbor,

 

The secret is out. Savor the Bronx is back! We are thrilled to partner with the Bronx Tourism Council, the Bronx Economic Development Corporation, and the Business Initiative Corporation of New York for the return of this beloved and historic event. For six days, we'll showcase the rich, diverse culinary offerings our borough is known for, as local restaurants come together to celebrate the flavors of the Bronx. The Bronx Tourism Council is currently recruiting restaurants to participate in this exciting event, where each will offer a prix fixe menu with discounted options for diners to enjoy. This is a fantastic opportunity to experience the unique and delicious flavors of our community. Click HERE for more information on how to get involved.

 

Our Winter Wonderland Extravaganza is also making a comeback! Get ready to kick off the holiday season with a night of festive fun, music, giveaways, and more on Thursday, December 5th at 5 PM at Bronx Borough Hall. It’s the perfect way to celebrate the season and spread some holiday cheer with family, friends, and neighbors.

 

Lastly, as we approach Thanksgiving, we want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude to all of you. We wish you and your loved ones a safe, healthy, and joyful holiday season filled with warmth and togetherness.

IN THE COMMUNITY

We partnered with Hot 97, WBLS, Compare Foods, Eat Clean Bro, and more to host a Thanksgiving Turkey Giveaway at Tracey Towers. A big thank you to Congressman Adriano Espaillat, Senator Gustavo Rivera, Assembly Member John Zaccaro Jr., and Council Member Eric Dinowitz for supporting and making this event a success.

Last week, we hosted the Movember Men’s Health and Resource Fair in partnership with Bronx Fathers Taking Action and Planet Fitness! This event focused on promoting men’s health, wellness, and access to vital resources. November is recognized as Men’s Health Awareness Month, largely due to the global Movember movement and the goal of dedicating November to men’s health is to reduce stigma, promote early detection, and emphasize the importance of physical and mental well-being for men worldwide. The month serves as a reminder for men to prioritize regular check-ups, seek support, and take proactive steps to maintain their health.  Thank you to everyone who joined us in supporting a healthier Bronx! We celebrated community and connection at last week`s Senior Luncheon at Golden Corral kicking off the thanksgiving season We marked a major milestone with the ribbon cutting and groundbreaking ceremony for the new 40th Precinct in the Bronx! This state-of-the-art facility represents our commitment to improving public safety and strengthening community partnerships.  UPCOMING EVENTS GENERAL INFORMATION
