⁴ᴷ⁶⁰ Walking NYC's Northernmost Neighborhood : Wakefield, Bronx via White Plains Rd (September 2020)

I walk through Wakefield, Bronx from the 233rd Street Subway Station via White Plains Road to the Mount Vernon, Westchester border.
From Wikipedia:
"Wakefield is a working-class and middle-class section of the northern borough of the Bronx in New York City. It is bounded by the city's border with Westchester County to the north, East 222nd Street to the south, and the Bronx River Parkway to the west.
Wakefield is the northernmost neighborhood in New York City (although the city's northernmost point is actually in Riverdale, at the College of Mount Saint Vincent). The neighborhood is part of Bronx Community District 12 and its ZIP Codes are 10466 and 10470. Wakefield is patrolled by the 47th Precinct of the New York City Police Department. "

[@josephmiller9519]

My old neighborhood you are walking through the commercial strip of the neighborhood. If you want to see houses you can walk east from whiteplains rd to mundy lane or you can walk down carpenter ave which is also a through way road

[@pbuffa411]

Nice work! Like a some of the other commenters, I was born and raised in the Bronx - grew up in this very neighborhood in the 1950's (yikes!) at the corner of 236th Street and Carpenter Avenue. Had you turned left at 236th Street, Carpenter Avenue is three blocks down the hill from White Plains Road, just above Bronx Boulevard. As you said in your opening comments, in those days, it was Italian (us), Irish and Jewish. I loved it - it was a cool place to be a kid. I think it's great that it's now a Caribbean neighborhood, with all the diversity that makes New York such a great place. As someone else mentioned, White Plains Road isn't Wakefield at its best - there are nicer, tree-lined neighborhoods a few blocks away, but to be honest - it wasn't exactly Fifth Avenue in the olds days either. It was the place where you shopped or made your way home when you got off the El - which at the time was called the Lexington Avenue line. I got a kick out of listening to you describe each business you passed, since I can name what almost every one of those was back in the day. The biggest "missing link" was the Wakefield movie theatre which you would have seen on the east side of White Plains at 235th Street. It was a big deal to us but would look crazy small today. Once a week they would give away free dishes (bonkers, I know) and they even had live acts now and then with some pretty big names. Anyway, keep up the good work and stay safe - long live the Bronx!

[@EdwardCaffrey22]

The movie palace is where I saw “Mary Poppins” in September of 1964. In the late sixties, the cinema became a boxing gym. I went back only once since my Aunt moved out to Yonkers in 1983ish.

[@romeojames89]

On the border back in the 80s there was a Carvel ice cream store there where the car wash is🍦🍨

Easiest way to determine boarders from NYC are streetlights and traffic signals. Whether its Westchester or Nassau County in long Island for example the lights change

If you went the opposite direction it’s like night and day. That’s also where the restaurants are at. Down carpenter avenue, there is a nice park.

I'll have to check it out next time!

Woodlawn, across the Bronx River from Wakefield remains an Irish neighborhood. You ought to walk Woodlawn; main street is Katonah Avenue. You ought to go into Woodlawn Cemetery. Historic burials, ornate mausoleums, guided and self-guided tours (maps provided).

[@angiealexis3717]

Thank you.

[@robertgentile177]

wow I walk this walk almost everyday

[@savedbygrace.slowedreverb]

You should walk Boston Rd (not far from here) and check out the Bay Plaza Mall while you're at it. The Baychester stop on the 5 train will take you right to Boston Rd - just make a left when you get out :) 👍

[@janetburt4930]

White Plains Road is the commercial area of Wakefield. Lots of take out restaurants, bodega stores, small churches and other small businesses.

I lived right off WPR at 666 East 233 St. - WPR was always the commercial strip for the neighborhood..to get a cleared picture of the neighborhood the side streets off WPR would be of interest.

I had a bunch of friends who worked at the Cityline Pharmacy in the 90s. Also I knew the guys who owned Peppino‘s pizzeria and funny thing. Is they just open up another one not far for me on Tuckahoe Road and it’s called the world famous Peppino’s pizzeria, and JOHN and Carmine from Peppino‘s is at that Peppinos, I remember going to Peppino’s at 1 o’clock in the morning, I missed those days because everything in Scarsdale is closed by 10 o’clock. But anyway back to Celine Pharmacy, one of my best friends work there and another two or three friends of mine work there in the early 90s..

[@divinedamon921]

I've lived up there my whole life and at no time was it apart of Westchester county, the area your currently in was woods back in the day

[@Not_Sal]

It was a part of Westchester but that was back in the 1800s

[@6PyramideHead6]

I'd love to visit nyc some day and it would be easier to see more of the "unknown" but still beautiful areas with locals if there is like a chat group for that or even here i'd love to meet some locals here who would hang out with a foreigner 😅

One way u can tell that u r in Westchester County is the difference in street signs. The signs r smaller in Westchester County and larger as u approach the city.

There was a scene in the first "Godfather" movie, filmed in a restaurant in the 3500 block of White Plains Road, above Gun Hill Road. Someone got shot.The loud noise of the White Plains Road elevated can be heard through the scene. On White Plains Road, pedestrians used to stop conversing, sometimes covering their ears, waiting for the el to pass.

[@tonyedward6909]

I was on the train heading home from school 1971 when they filmed that scene at Louis Restaurant. I might have been on the exact train when Michael corleone fired the shots that killed McClusky and the turk?

[@jonlenihan4798]

@@tonyedward6909 I remember seeing the cameras and lights, outside the restaurant. The restaurant was on the west side of WP Road. Awful location for a business. The el tracks swerved over the sidewalk at that point; noisy, dark, dirty, little foot traffic. The next storefront to the north was Vavolizza Travel; big plate glass window. A school friend worked at Vavolizza Travel. She spend filming day, jumping up and down in the window, trying to get into the picture.

[@ANTHONY0808able]

This is the neighborhood of my youth, lived on Gunther Avenue off East 233rd Street. He's right, in the 60's and 70's it was all blue collar Irish and Italians. My family left in 1973, by the time the 70's ended the neighborhood had completely turned over. Good memories of my early youth here.

[@damianmcdonagh7908]

Many Irish moved up to Yonkers, White Plains and Scarsdale.

[@PC_TV_73]

Yep, this is where I was born and raised, I was born in 73 and we lived a few blocks from Pepino‘s Pizza. Two blocks down with Mount Vernon and that’s where all the trouble always came from and our neighborhood and right over the 241 St. bridge was yonkers. We did not move because my grandmother and grandfather own the house and my mom did not want to leave them and for some crazy reason they did not want to move so we were basically the last time in the neighborhood. We moved after my grandmother and grandfather died a year apart From each other, my grandmother died in 92 and my grandfather died in 93 so we moved and sold the house in 94 but it was already a disaster way before we moved. I’m not gonna say I didn’t enjoy the action in the Bronx I also worked at a deli/number spot on Pittman Avenue From the early 90s to about 96 or 97 and that was a load of fun. I didn’t move so far now I am in Scarsdale New York and it’s crazy to think I’m probably less than 15 or 20 minutes away but it feels like I’m on another planet over here, an example in the Bronx for 4 July. Everyone was outside barbecuing fireworks where I am now. Everyone has a really nice house but nobody is around. No one does barbecues. I am the only house in the mood. I’ve been barbecue shooting fireworks off. yes, I still shoot them off. And if you bought fireworks around Pinos in the 90s at least the 75% chance you bought them for me. I had the warehouse behind the store on White Plains Rd. and we sold fireworks all the way until mayor Rudolph Giuliani made it way more complicated to do so. I don’t go to the old neighborhood often but I did use my quest three VR glasses there’s an app called the wanderer and you literally put in an address and it takes you right there so I walked by basically exactly what action kid did, but in VR and men I didn’t think neighborhoods could get even more ran down, but man they even opened up a dope clinic a few blocks away from 241. But I love watching this video because this is my childhood for the first 20 years of my life. Those were my stomping grounds. And I know this video was old and I did see this video a few years ago when it was made but I actually went looking forward again just because I wanted to see it. Brings back so many memories.

That's not a true depiction of Wakefield. He's just walking white plains road. There are side street with nicely kept one and two story residential homes. He ended his video at mount Vernon which is Westchester County new York state. When he got to 238 if he'd gone left he'd be at another Westchester county neighborhood of Yonkers. And by the way. Did he ask people to stay away? Usually between 233rd street and 238/neried Ave, it's usually a bustling busy area.

Oddly enough 241st Street is not the highest street number in The Bronx by a longshot. It’s 263rd Street in Riverdale . But according to the Subway map on my wall Wakefield is absolutely the northernmost section. Btw that might be a good walk for a future video: Take the 1 to the end at 242nd Street and walk 242nd along Manhattan College and up the Henry Hudson Plwy/Riverdale Avenue to College Of Mt. St. Vincent

I grew up on 232st off of White Plains Road.. Left there 50 years ago. It looks the same except for different stores and most of the people were either Italian, Jewish or Irish Americans. I have nothing against the people who live there now. I'm just pointing out the difference.

[@PC_TV_73]

At 22 minutes and five seconds you pass by Penfield Street and you actually say you’re passing Penfield Street. That is the block I was born and raised on. It’s only two blocks long and at the other end you literally one block away from Mount Vernon but that right there is where I was born in 1973 and we did not move until 1994 when both my grandmother and grandfather passed away we were officially the last Italian person in the neighborhood. What’s funny is in the early 80s there were a few Italians left on my block, but by 1990 they were all gone that deli that you were passing by at the 22 minute mark was called Sammy‘s and that is where we hung out. Pepinos was another hang out with John and Carmine and now they opened up a Pepino on Tucker Road in Yonkers The café right next-door to Peppino’s not even sure if it’s still there anymore was 24 hours and we would always stop in there at 4 o’clock in the morning after a night at Sue rendezvous. I have to say once we move away I stayed hanging around the neighborhood until about the year 2002. I haven’t been by since, I only live maybe 15 minute car ride away but it feels like I’m on a different planet. Anyway, love watching a video of my old neighborhood.
