A little history

In 1969, Frankie Bastone, opened a storefront restaurant in the Bronx. His family-style meals, made with recipes taught to him by his mother back home in the hills of Calabria Italy, soon made Frankie the talk of the town. As word about Frankie's cooking continued to spread, the restaurant was transformed from the Bronx's "best kept secret", to the landmark restaurant it is today. The tradition of serving quality Italian cuisine lives on through our culinary masters who still create the unique flavors of the pine using the freshest home grown herbs and ingredients.

Morris Park

While you're in the area dining at the F & J Pine Restaurant with your Bronx car rentals, you should definitely check out Morris Park. The neighborhood is part of Community Board 11 in the East Bronx. Morris Park is named after John Albert Morris, who built the Morris Park Racecourse, which existed from 1889 until 1910. 1890 the Morris Park Racecourse hosted the Preakness and the Belmont Stakes, which continued to be run there until 1905. The track was later used for auto racing and the first public air show. After a 1910 fire the property was divided into lots for the current neighborhood. Many streets in Morris Park are named after mayors of New York City from the 18th and 19th centuries. The Morris Park area is home to several notable locations including the Bronx Military Museum. Joseph Garofalo, a World War II veteran, persuaded John Dormi & Sons Funeral Home in Morris Park to display his collection of medals and war memorabilia in what he has christened the Bronx Military Museum. When you visit the Bronx Military Museum with your Bronx car rentals today you will find that the people in the Morris Park neighborhood have contributed the military memorabilia that once belonged to their relatives to make for a very sizable collection.

Columbus Day Parade

Morris Park is famous for its annual Columbus Day Parade, which began in 1977. It is held on the Sunday before the national Columbus Day holiday. The parade begins on the intersection of Morris Park Avenue and White Plains Road. The parade route turns left on Williamsbridge Road and ends at Pelham Parkway South.
