FAQs
What's the best way to get to Arthur Avenue?
Don't take the subway. Take Metro North's Harlem line from Grand Central Station to the Fordham station. Or drive and park in the Municipal lot.
Can I do the Saturday Shopping itinerary on other days of the week?
Absolutely, but not Sunday, as most of the shops are closed. Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday are the best (uncrowded) days for this itinerary.
Will I find vegan or gluten-free food here?
Arthur Avenue is old-school New York. If you have a lot of dietary restrictions, you may be disappointed.
