Raven’s 3-star review: Honestly it's been years since I've visited the Bronx Zoo. My father and I recently took my son this past week, he's 18 months and enjoyed himself so for us that's all that matters BUT there are a few things that need to be addressed. Parking: You pay for parking either way, meaning with or without a reservation, the only difference is with a reservation you're directed to the area for ppl with tickets. I say reservation because due to COVID you are required to have a reservation with a reserved tickets time and date. The parking area is a parking lot it's a lot that they use to have you park, it's grassed and unevenly paved in some areas and in others not paved AT ALL!! It's very dangerous! Especially for ppl with strollers and small children. Once in the Zoo there are stations with hand sanitizer everywhere. The bathroom was clean and they have changing tables for the little ones. Not all of the sinks worked to wash your hands and some of the soap dispensers were empty. There were no paper towels available to dry your hands and there was only one hand dryer. There are place spacers on the ground reminding you to keep 6 ft apart and social distance. Mask were being worn by many people but no one was hounding anyone who didn't have a mask on to wear one. If you are inside verse out then you have to wear a mask. I'm not a fan of how the Zoo is set up, the animals that you want to see are spread wide apart and it's hard to tell where you are and where you're going. The map isn't the easiest to read and you begin to feel like you're going in a big circle. I say this to simply say when you plan this trip set aside time because it can be an all day outing. There are many places to purchase food and snacks and you can bring your own food and drinks. All in all it was a good day and a great experience for my little guy.

Raven’s 5-star review: I had a blast at the Central Park Zoo!!! Although it's on the smaller side I rather appreciate that. All the animals you want to see are right near the entrance and I lobe that the restrooms are located right towards the front too. My son had a great time! He loves animals and at his age is just running everywhere and there's space for him to move. It was extremely crowded which I also loved! And the staff was pleasant and helpful. There were hand sanitizer stations all over and social distance markers. People were eating mask and being very respectful of each other and each others space! We didn't make the children's zoo but we'll definitely go back and catch it. -

Raven’s 5-star review: At Hajji's, the heart of the neighborhood beats strong, and it's not just because of their legendary Chopped Cheese--it's the sense of community and family that makes this place truly special. As the home of the ORIGINAL Chopped Cheese, Hajji's has become a beloved institution in the neighborhood, with locals and visitors alike flocking to its doors for a taste of authenticity. But it's not just about the food--it's about the connection to the community and the warm welcome you receive from the moment you step inside. Of course, let's talk about the Chopped Cheese. It's more than just a sandwich--it's a culinary masterpiece that combines the perfect blend of flavors and textures. With its juicy beef, gooey melted cheese, and fresh veggies all nestled between two slices of toasted bread, it's a true taste sensation that leaves you craving more with every bite. And let's not forget about the Philly Cheese Steak--an equally indulgent delight that pays homage to the flavors of Philadelphia. Tender slices of beef, sautéed onions, and melted cheese all come together in perfect harmony, creating a sandwich that's as satisfying as it is delicious. But Hajji's isn't just about the classics--they also excel at coldcut sandwiches that are out of this world. From the savory slices of ham and turkey to the tangy kick of their signature sauces, each bite is a symphony of flavor that leaves you wanting more. And for those looking for a taste of nostalgia, Hajji's is one of the few places where you can find a Coco Rico soda--a beloved beverage that transports you back to simpler times with its refreshing sweetness. In conclusion, Hajji's is more than just a place to grab a bite to eat--it's a gathering place for the community, a home away from home where everyone is welcome and treated like family. So whether you're craving a Chopped Cheese, a Philly Cheese Steak, or just a friendly smile and a cold soda, Hajji's has got you covered. -
