There is a movie being filmed on City Island called 'City Island', named after the charming seaport enclave in the Bronx starring Andy Garcia and Alan Arkin. According to proprietor Spiro Chagares, food for the crew and some of the scenes was prepared in his kitchen at Artie's, 394 City Island Ave. www.artiesofcityisland.com
We've been fans of Artie's for many years; love their creative take on modern and traditional dishes prepared and plated with pizzazz...from their massive Zuppa di Pesce to their great big hunks of short rib...great chowders and burgers too!
