Johnny’s Famous Reef Restaurant
2 City Island Ave., nr. Belden St., City Island; 718-885-2086
At the southern tip of the Bronx’s City Island is a bustling cafeteria that dates back 50 years. On the menu: oysters to frog legs to chicken livers, all delivered to you in paper-lined baskets. Order up some crunchy goodness, then head to the tiny, comically out-of-place tiki bar for the real reason you’re here—piña coladas in a plastic cup!
