Orchard Beach dining decoded

·

The pavilion vendors and piragua carts are the authentic Orchard Beach food experience. Skip the chain concessions.

·

City Island is 5 min east and worth the detour -- Sammy's Fish Box and Tony's Pier are Bronx seafood institutions.

·

Bring a cooler if you're making a day of it. The pavilion food is fine but a hometown hero sandwich beats anything they sell.

·

The best post-beach move is Arthur Ave for Italian food, 25 min west -- call ahead for tables on summer weekends.
