The night here
Mott Haven and Port Morris, at the southern tip of the Bronx, have a small but growing night scene: restaurants and bars along Bruckner Boulevard and East 138th Street, close to the Third Avenue Bridge to Manhattan. Compared with the other guides there are few licensed venues and few noise complaints.
The 2, 4 and 6 run through the night at the 138th and 149th Street stations; the 5 stops in the evening.
When it gets loud
138 complaints about loud music or parties at bars, clubs and other businesses were made to 311 from here in the last 12 months (36 per km², #23 of 24). 54% came in between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m., and 43% on Friday and Saturday nights.
Each row is an evening running into the next morning (the Saturday row ends Sunday at noon). Darker = more complaints. Source: NYC 311 service requests, “Noise – Commercial: Loud Music/Party”.
