But then again I don't have any biz there, except sometimes concerts in MSG.
So that's why.
Morris Park is far from the city it seems like an enternity to get there. I too myself dont have any biz to be there unless if Im visiting a friend or looking to smash some Italian broads. IF your looking for guidettes look no further than Morris Park. Some good pizza up in Morris Park and lets not forget a couple of tanning salons. Morris Park seems to be an Italian stronghold of the Bronx but I have seen some Puerto Ricans in and around the area but its hard to tell the difference between the two nowadays. To the OP did you ever check out City Island?

I don't have any biz up in Morris Park and same goes for the city.
and occasionally smash some bubble gum PR chick in the backseat of my uncles Chevy. If I'm turned down by some UES chick because I don't have ambitions in life, I really don't care I can always go home and watch "The Adventures of Shorty Mac" videos. IMO ppl should not make life so complicated for themselves. Keep it simple folks.
Thanks for reading.

I've been to City Island once back in 2007, worked on a house and went to a restaurant there too. I like the area a lot, but it far to get to. Morris Park isn't that far from the Whitestone Bridge, whih is why I wanted to go there.

Actually it isn't much further at all.It's the same exit off the Hutch.If you come over the Whitestone and then up the Hutch and get off at Pelham Parkway you either go right on Pelham Parkway about 2 miles to City Island or left about 1 mile to Morris Park/Pelham Parkway.
The difference for you to get to City Island is about 1 mile or maybe 2 or 3 minutes.
Morris Park isn't that far. You can take BX22 either direction to either 6 or D. It's also close to the 2/5 train. Depending on time I'd guesstimate it takes about an hour to an hour and a half to get downtown...
City Island might as well be Westchester county, except that lots of parts of Westchester County have better public transportation (easy access to Metro-North). City Island has a 1 lane in, 1 lane out road, then a drive to the last stop of the 6 train. Yikes! Morris Park is much better than city-island in proximity to the city and public transportation, but it really does feel far from the city..and the train ride feels long. It just is out of the realm of an easily accessible Manhattan bedroom community. Once you get north of 165th in the Bronx, the commute to Manhattan by train becomes too long...or
at least feels that way to many.
Just so everybody knows, City Island has a bus to the Pelham Bay Park (6) station: The Bx29 (it continues on to Bay Plaza in Co-Op City). There are also 2 BxM8 trips that are extended there during rush hours.

I don't think the Bx22 really serves Morris Park. It sort of skirts it while it's going between Pelham Parkway and Parkchester (I'm not sure of the exact routing). The Bx21 goes down Morris Park Avenue, though, and connects to the (2)/(5) at East 180th Street.

Out of the realm of an easily accessible Manhattan bedroon community? Now you have really lost it.Tell that to the 10 million people who travel WELL OVER AN HOUR each way to Manhattan every day.
Thanks Sobro for more of your usual BS but the difference in the train time between Morris Park and 42nd st and 165th st and 42nd st is less than 10 minutes.
Yes,it might be too far for some but for others,the extra 10 minutes is a small price to pay to not live in The South Bronx.And for those going downtown in the AM rush and returning in the evening rush there is no difference because the 5 express bypasses all those nasty South Bronx stops anyway.

When the new huge residential development by the Bronx River is ready for primetime it's possible the 5 express will stop on some 2 station also.

It takes 35 minutes on the 5 train to 42nd st. How is that an eternity ?
