Due to the pandemic, New York restaurants are once again shut down for inside dining. This is destroying restaurants where many may not be reopening.
Many of them are investing money and revamping their outside dining with tents, enclosures, heating systems etc.
We will be checking out all our Winter dining options starting in the Bronx.
Bewski’s has a huge area in the back of their restaurant that usually is used for big events from St. Patrick’s day to Oktoberfest, or the big game! The owner Albi put in a forced heated air system to keep diners nice and warm while they enjoy their amazing menu, craft beers and full bar.
We started with soups, French onion soup and the soup of the day, Chorizo lentil soup which was flavorful and hearty.
Our entrees were one of their delicious burgers with fries and the other was a decadent braised Angus short rib, creamy fontina cheese, fig jam & pickled red onions on San Francisco sourdough bread sandwich with truffle fries. Talk about an addictive sandwich!
Their menu has an awesome variety to choose from and if you are having delivery or take out don’t forget their completely mobile Quarantini or Quaranfreezie to make it complete.
Whether you dine at their outside tent, get delivery or take-out, please support our restaurants.
Brewski’s is completely COVID COMPLIANT with temperature check and contact info at door, social distanced tables, employees in masks, menus online, and disposable utensils and dishware and sanitizing stations.
The Throggs Neck BID has joined other Bronx BIDs in opposing plans for a dramatic increase in street vendor permits. The measure is expected to vote tomorrow on the bill.
The legislation that would more than double the number of street vendor permits, creating 4,000 new sidewalk and street food-selling permits by 2032. These are in addition to 3,000 currently issued by the health department. Mayor de Blasio supports the measure.
A long-hoped for community goal, the planting of a tree at Derosa-O’Boyle Triangle, was achieved by the Throggs Neck BID recently, with the help of Councilmember Mark Gjonaj. A touching ceremony dedicating the tree, named in honor of the late Benjamin Randazzo (who initiated using the site for holiday commemoration) to First Responders and Essential Workers, was held on Saturday, January 16. Councilmember Mark Gjonaj, Assemblyman Mike Benedetto (Whom Randazzo worked for) Father Norton of St. Benedict’s Parish, John Murano, and members of the Randazzo family attended and addressed those attending. Members of the NYPD, NYFD, Sanitation, Throggs Neck Volunteer Ambulance Corps, and others were present and honored for their extraordinary efforts.

The 10465 area is facing higher than average COVID-19 positive testing rates. To review that problem, the staff of the Throggs Neck BID met with David Coulibaly of the NYC Health & Hospitals Corporation. (seated far left in the photo.) Joining the meeting were the leadership of the private group, NYC Laboratories, represented by Sal Garcia (far right) and his chief assistant (second from left.) BID Board member Michael Musano (second from right) joined BID Director Bob Jaen (center) and BID associate Frank Vernuccio (not pictured.) The BID has arranged for NYC Laboratories to provide testing in the area on a frequent basis. HHC was urged to provide as much assistance as possible to the community.
As COVID continues to affect our community, the Throggs Neck BID continues to respond. On Saturday, January 2, the BID again sponsored a New York Lab COVID testing truck, located at East Tremont and Randall.

Exposed gas piping systems in all buildings, except one- or two-family homes, must be inspected by a Licensed Master Plumber (LMP), or a qualified individual working under the direct and continuing supervision of a LMP, at least once every four years according to the schedule set out in 1 RCNY §103-10.
A new bill approved by the City Council on December 17, 2020, and expected to become law on January 18, 2021, extends the inspection deadline for buildings in Community Districts (CD) 1, 3, and 10 in all boroughs from December 31, 2020, to June 30, 2021.
Owners of buildings in CD 1, 3 and 10 in all boroughs that have their gas piping systems inspected between September 1, 2020, and December 31, 2020, are not required to submit the GPS2: Gas Piping System Periodic Inspection Certification form to the Department of Buildings within 120 days of the inspection date, or where one or more conditions require time to correct within 180 days of the inspection date, but must submit the form no later than June 30, 2021.
The signed and sealed GPS2: Gas Piping System Periodic Inspection Certification form must be submitted through the online portal at www.nyc.gov/DOBgaspipecert. Failure to file the Gas Piping System Periodic Inspection Certification on or before the filing due date will result in a civil penalty of $10,000.
