Virtual Tour of Belmont
BY JASON COHEN
Bronxite Susan Birnbaum, owner
of SusanSez NYC Walkabouts, a
walking tour company, is making
her mark in 2021.
Birnbaum delivers the virtual
tour, “Belmont, The Bronx: From
NYC’s ‘Real’ Little Italy to the Bronx
Zoo” live on Feb. 4.
She has been giving walking tours
of Belmont for nearly 20 years and in
2020 made the switch to the virtual
format because of COVID-19.
“What I love about the virtual
format is I’m able to expand the
tour and cover more of the Fordham
area,” Birnbaum explained. “Anyone
in the world can take a trip to
Belmont and experience all the history
and culture from the comfort of
their sofa.”
In January she presented the
tour and received positive reviews.
Because of this the New York Adventure
Club has invited her to present
again less than a month later.
The digital showcase of Belmont
will include:
A historical overview of Belmont,
including a look at its most
famous educational and cultural
institutions such as Fordham University,
New York Botanical Gardens
and Bronx Zoo.
The contributions of the Lorillard
family to the neighborhood,
along with those of immigrants
who built some of the neighborhood’s
most iconic institutions and
local establishments.
A discussion around the Italian
establishments on Arthur Avenue,
ranging from butchers and delis, to
cheese shops and fi shmongers, to
bakeries and bread shops.
Stories of the “survivors” — the
third, fourth or fi fth generation family
owned shops
A peek at the recent arrivals on
the culinary scene including Albanian
and Mexican fare, along with
the lively festivals and feasts that
pack the streets with people from
the tri-state area
At the end of the program there
will be a question and answer with
Birnbaum.
For those who can’t make it live
they can register and have access to
the full replay for one week (Feb. 4
to 11). To learn more and buy tickets,
