Make a visit of it

Poe's final home, where he wrote 'Annabel Lee' and 'Eureka.' Tiny and atmospheric. The docents are passionate and the $0 option is genuinely welcome. Combine with the Bronx Museum (10 min walk south on the Grand Concourse) for a free Bronx culture day.

After: Estrellita Poblana III (Mexican, $8-14). 2328 Arthur Ave. Authentic Puebla-style Mexican hidden on Arthur Ave's Italian strip. The cemitas and huaraches are the real deal.
