    Burrville Cider Mill image
    This short stop was an unexpected highlight of our trip to the area. The Cider Mill, built alongside a waterfall (make sure to walk around and look!) is clearly well appreciated by locals - with traffic constantly going in and out. The place includes big bins of apples to sort through, great cider to buy to go, and baked goods and slushies from the counter. We loaded up with a variety of appley items. The Cider Mill also had a selection of works by a local artist, and we walked away with a beautiful print of the mill which we quickly framed and hung up in our home as a memento of our visit to the area. Don't miss the Cider Mill! See more..

    Distilleries
    Port Morris Distillery image
    One of my favorite places to bring first time visitors to the Bronx. It is even a treat for longtime Bronx residents, who often have no idea that this wonderful place exists. The interior brings you back to the streets of Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. The space is super chill and super welcoming. The staff is fantastic. I've been a bunch of times, and each time it feels like it's the first, and the excitement is still high. You are treated to a tour of the distilling making process, as well as samples of the liquor. They make wonderful drinks with their liquor, and they have a creative menu for those who want to grub. I highly recommend this place if you're visiting the Bronx, especially if you're into Latino/ Puerto Rican culture. See more..
