Pelham Bay Park, the Bronx

So, I thought Jones Beach was a show, but BOY OH BOY--not when you compare it to Pelham Bay Park in the Bronx! Other than my one visit to Yankee Stadium, this was only my second venture out to the Bronx, even though it is the closest borough to my Upper East Side nabe. After getting a late start on Saturday morning, Zach and I decided to head to the closest beach, which happens to be Orchard Beach on the Long Island Sound in Pelham Bay Park, which is truly a beautiful place, three times the size of Central Park! We only got to enjoy a small portion of it, but did we ever get a fine showing of the Bronx's finest! This place was utterly SKANK-TASTIC, and Zach and I loved every minute of it! I'm talking 300 pound women wearing bikinis, and bathing suits that would have to be seen to be believed. We enjoyed a cooler full of Fosters and took in the sights and sounds of this CRAZY place...it was great.
