SiscoVanilla Rides and Dines

What's up peeps!!! Welcome back to the SiscoVanilla Rides and Dines blogpage. In my last post I visited the classic Yankee Tavern at the 4/B/D 161st Street Yankee Stadium train station.  For today's post I'm visiting one of the newer bars in the area of Yankee Stadium: The Bronx Drafthouse.  The Bronx Drafthouse  (885 Gerard Avenue, Bronx NY 929-265-9759) boasts on their website of having 30-craft beers on draft along with 20-craft beers in cans along with a full food menu I was there after jury duty and was celebrating my friend Myron's birthday.

The Yankee Tavern (72 East 161st Street, Bronx NY 718-292-6130) has been serving the neighborhood since 1927 and in recent years has been going through a series of renovations.  The Yankee Tavern is one of the many places near the stadium where fans go to pre-game and post-game during Yankee games and concerts that are held at Yankee Stad

What's up peeps!!! I've been running my website SiscoVanilla and blogpage SiscoVanilla Serves and Drinks for a number of years now. While both of them are still active with their own content and focus, I wanted to do a new project which combines public transportation with local places to have a drink and some grub. So here is SiscoVanilla Rides and Dines .  Living in New York City with its 472 subway stations both underground and overhead, there's often confusion of where one can go to get a brew and something to eat. Some stops have multiple options. Some stops don't have any. What I want to do is to give you all a little information on where you can go by each train stop. I figure a couple of blocks near the station will do. It might be a dive bar, a fancy joint, a brewery, a distillery or maybe even a food truck. I might even find a hidden gem or two along the way I will attempt to stay away chain restaurants (Applebee's, Olive Garden) unless the chain offers s
