New York Neighborhoods: Throggs Neck in the Bronx

[@jademusic1211]

Grew up there from 1980-1987 (15-22). Used to frequent Red Eagle Saloon and see Alive and Kickin' and Bootcamp, among others. I so miss the old days.😞💔

[@sarge6870]

Me too! My GF and I would be at the Eagle every Friday & Saturday night!!

[@sarge6870]

Grew up there from 1963 - 1980! Interboro theater, Louis' Seafood (Think it's still there) P.S. 72 &JHS 101, so many memories.....

[@HeatherGarcia-di9se]

It makes sense when u the first immigrants coming to new York they pick out best views n places first, i noticed breezy point before it got ruined by hurrican sandy or watever it was that was nice too

[@kate18234]

I lived on Revere Avenue for my firs 27 years. Attended St. Benedict's School, St. Helena's H.S., and Christopher Columbus H.S. Two of my sisters attended P.S. 14. We had an Irish setter, Corky, who wandered freely around the neighborhood and was loved by all. There were eight kids in our family, ten people living in a semi-attached house, beginning in 1937.

[@blessed4164]

OHHH, Revere Ave has turned into SH+T for sure.

[@maryladdis5032]

😮Grew up on Hollywood Avenue, walked to P..S. 14. Stopped at Pop's candy store and figured out how to get the most candy for m sat at the counter for a two cents plain or for another two cents had a shot of vanilla added.. I wonder where all my childhood friends are today..

[@YoniMayeri]

I went to Preston High School in Throggs Neck. The original school building, also known as "The Huntington Mansion" or "the mansion" to students & faculty, was the 19th century waterfront home of Collis P. Huntington, who purchased the property from Frederick C. Havemeyer, Jr. in 1883. Havemeyer had purchased the property earlier from Thomas Ash in 1862. Prestonites believe the mansion is haunted by a ghost named Archie who often gets the blame when things go missing around the building.

[@petecerchiara3346]

+Yoni Mayeri When did you graduate Preston?

[@ceciliapreziose3783]

SO DID I PLACE SUCKED

[@ralphkramden1741]

A real ghost story.

[@RobinOrzo]

Dang this brings me back 😭 grew up there and it will always be home

[@Smorgasvord]

Kinda mad that they didn't include Throggs Neck Housing Projects, but I guess that doesn't go along with the whole image they're trying to portray.

[@christianuy5791]

PeeJay Torres makes sense. Why would you want to film an area full of garbage all over the street.

[@sarge6870]

The unfortunate thing is when I grew up in the projects (1963-1980) it wasn't like that.There were nice wooden benches, the landscaping was always taken care of and you neighbors (regardless of color) looked out for each other. I remember my dad leaving the door of our apartment open all night during the summer to catch the breeze coming in the hallway window from Ferry Point Park. In 1981, when I came home from Army Basic Training, my car was torched in the parking lot. That and the growing influx of drugs in the neighborhood was my wake-up call to leave...

[@sarge6870]

WTF are you talking about...put the pipe down that shit is gonna kill you!

[@trunks4139]

i hate that throgsneck they show, i grew up on schley & we never event went to the otherside by the water

[@JP-dw1fp]

Yes. The projects were great. The crime brought housing prices way down. Not just in Throggs Neck but all over the city. Crime goes way up, and housing prices go way down. What a city!

[@petecerchiara3346]

Wait a minute, the mix of cultures went beyond Irish and German, there were those plus Italian, Polish, and Greek, and a few others too.

[@petecerchiara3346]

+Mike Gianfrancesco really? Can't be ALL junkies and drunks????

[@japrender8550]

I remember Alfie's Place, a drinking establishment right off Tremont in Throgg's Neck. Lots of good times there in the 70's. probably gone now.

[@sarge6870]

I remember Alfie's on the corner of Miles & E.Tremont...and the Red Eagle Saloon. Went to see a LOT of great local rock bands there on Friday & Saturday nights.

I spent the 70's 80's & 90's hanging out there! It was good! It's still there!

[@MarioRBSouza]

I love reading the comments. They always complete with a wealth of details and important information on the subject.

[@jimprior5700]

Great area and wonderful waterfront views. Video doesn't do it justice.

[@JP-dw1fp]

Yet the water still smells like a sewer.

[@pattypat4170]

I used to live there in the 1960's. Boy that place has changed.

[@HalleyHaywirez]

Lived here for 12 years and I honestly can't wait to leave

[@slimsydeer1866]

really?i kind of like it its small

Ok cool thank god

[@blessed4164]

All the ghetto low lives have moved in. Once you allow low income, se8 trash...their goes the neighborhood.

[@petecerchiara3346]

small issue, this is the Northeast Bronx not the Southeast Bronx.

[@frankwhite8ee]

Check your map dude. Its south east.North east is Pelham bay co op

[@petecerchiara3346]

+Frank White (frankwhite8e) I grew up there and it was always referred to as the Northeast bronx relative to the West bronx Fordham Road and the South Bronx that burned up in the early 70's. The difference between Pelham Bay Park and Coop City is small difference, youre talking a few miles versus that whole area and the rest of the Bronx. If you go a few miles north you're in Westchester county. You cant get too much further north from the areas you mentioned and you are out of the City.

[@vincentmaneri980]

Pete Cerchiara only problem, it's too far from the city

[@luismercado7841]

Vincent Maneri thank god it is keep the hippies out

[@luismercado7841]

Pete Cerchiara y did u have to add the south Bronx that burned up in the 70s y not jus say south Bronx?

[@dalehart6438]

I don't know about feeling like Florida...

[@petecerchiara3346]

+Dale Hart Yea...kind of scratching my head about Florida. because there is the sound and water and fish maybe. and the living near the shore line is just that. I miss the smell of the sea.

[@michaelgismondi9861]

I agree. I lived in Throgg's Neck (Clarence and Layfette) from 1962 until 1968 and lived in West Palm Beach from 2012 to 2013 and never saw the resemblence. How high do you have to be to confuse the two?

[@joiesbin]

Hey Uncle Vito! Yes you are right, it is a 12! Love ya!

[@oops3936]

Joanne Jessica Tropea lol god damn right

[@Cjga1114]

Yo no mention of St Raymond's Cemetery? The only catholic cemetery in the Bronx!? And no mention of Marina Del rey? Oofa!

[@enerrivers4392]

What about the Diner on Bruckner b4 Tremont ave. Or the Theater on Tremont, before Martin Paints & around the corner, the precinct. The pvt clinics & lil lawyers offices down Tremont ( away from Bruckner). I dated a gal who lived by the tollbooth plaza. God, was it noisy @ all hours.

[@petecerchiara3346]

I think that restaurant featured was a bar called "the Rendezvous" back in the 70s. on the road leading to the Maritime College facing the end of Silver Beach.

[@petecerchiara3346]

+Vincent Mileto Very cool. You bet.

[@sarge6870]

I used to go to the "Red Eagle Saloon" on Tremont & Miles. Friday & Saturday nights, that was my place for the live bands.

[@bigrichfish]

Vincent Mileto I think it was Moby Dicks for a short while too.

[@bigrichfish]

@ yeah, was it called Moby Dicks Bar?

[@johnmcgrath6192]

Good video. But it's not Southeast Bronx, it's northeast.

[@angelawu7383]

Well I'm not Irish or German so I'm glad it's diversifying because I can't seem to afford to buy a place in Manhattan. I hope Throggs Neck is more reasonable.

[@luismercado7841]

Go to Westchester county a lot better

[@blessed4164]

Throggs neck will be predominately Black and Dominican within 5 year's. Westchester is nice but $$$ overpriced but i guess thats how you keep most of the trash out.

[@jameskbattlesr.9761]

that should be "North East , Bronx" !

[@BB_Rhombus]

every time i see throggs next it is spelled with 2 g's

[@MadMaidenStudios]

Area has not been Irish and German in 30 years. And you forgot Italian, Greek, Latino from that era. lol It's very diverse now.

[@s3ntin3l60]

Wait a minute. The most interesting thing in Throggs Neck, and you literally "mention" it for 3 seconds? Fort Schuyler aka "Maritime College" is the oldest Maritime academy in the U.S. there is also a naval Base adjacent to the campus. There is a 565' training vessel docked under Neath the Throggs Neck bridge and a large military "community" affiliated with Maritime College. Not to mention cannons being blasted across the way during home coming football games and Cadet inauguration ceremonies.....and you people yap about the friggin streets 🤦

[@jeffersonsteeleflex8178]

That's why Im watching this vid. Im starting to look into getting my CG license from SUNY Maritime. Seems promising. Especially with the GI bill. And rent isn't terrible, surprisingly.

[@sarge6870]

Not to mention the tunnels that run from Fort Schuyler to Fort Totten under the L.I. Sound in Queens!!

@@s3ntin3l60 I think it's blocked off now though they do have tours of the tunnels on the Queens side. Search KZbin. I saw a video of the tours just the other day!

[@GAME4WAR]

The Bronx's most mobbed up neighborhood. I remember going there as a kid on the 4th of July and seeing the guys unleash fireworks which the cops never shut down fuhgeddaboudit.I wonder if they still do it.

[@oniseven3225]

I’m surprised Edgewater wasn’t part of this.

Reminds them of Florida?? Don't know where they been but HELL NO!!

[@JP-dw1fp]

Not anymore. Since they made shop lifting and looting legal.

The water still stinks especially at low tide. People walk around with clothespins on their noses.

[@esateire]

Christina Lee so, you have to remember the “wop shop” on the corner...Lol. I know, not nice by today’s standards😯 I was born in the Bronx always moving to areas off of East Tremont. I lived in Silver Beach and my grandparents owned a small house there in the fifties. Great times!
