At Neerob (reviewed in whole
here), fish takes center stage. But not to the neglect of vegetables, which often appear in simpler guises. One of the best is their
okra with green papaya ($3), a great gateway dish for those who have been turned off by the vegetable's notorious sliminess.

Down in the South Bronx, quality neighborhood Dominican and Puerto Rican joints are a dime-a-dozen; taquerias are less common, but becoming increasingly so. In Hunt's Point, there's
Real Azteca, its colorful room a pleasant escape from the drab streets outside. While the tacos, served on homemade tortillas, are excellent, their plus-sized tortas ($6-7) are equally worth a visit.

Since 2008, "Baron Ambrosia"—"the mutant offspring of Ali G. and Anthony Bourdain"—has traversed the Bronx in pursuit of the borough's most excellent food, fighting villains and falling in love (several times) along the way. The Baron Ambrosia character is the invention of gonzo filmmaker
Justin Fornal, who has forged ahead with only the limited resources of public television channel
BronxNet; now, Fornal has parlayed his work into a gig with the Cooking Channel, where he will make his big league debut with
The Culinary Adventures of Baron Ambrosia this Sunday.

There are less than a handful of reasons to hang around Jerome Avenue at the low 180s any time of day—that is, unless you've got a hankering for spicy stews. Home to an exploding population of Ghanaians that is the largest in the States, the Bronx has, in recent years, started to gain traction as a destination for honest, cheap West African food. Though the community is centered on the Melrose-Webster Avenue track,
Ebe Ye Yie, just steps from the 183rd 4-train stop, is not far off the beaten track of plantains and palm oil. And it's very much worth the diversion.

In anticipation of the Yankee's Opening Day 2011 on Thursday, we've put together this list of inexpensive and easily accessible local haunts near Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. From Ghanaian to Dominican food, they represent the changing demographics of the borough. While there are a handful of
decent vendors at Yankee Stadium, why not skip the lines for a $7 Nathan's hot dog or $8 garlic fries and venture a little further afield?

For something comfortingly classic in the Bronx, grab the
Super Hero (small $6, large $7) from
Joe's Italian Deli. Heaps of homemade mozzarella plus ham and sopressata spill out from the edges, with tender, sweet red bell pepper tucked inside.
