The thought of living near a cemetery probably wouldn’t be someones first choice, but for   most Throgs Neck residents it’s the ideal place. Like Nicole Perrino, who went from a small town in Virginia to still finding some of home in Throgs Neck. Between the quiet walks down the street to the small town feel of greeting the local business owners and residents. Nicole who was use to the country life, where things were closed by the time the street lights came on to moving to the Bronx a borough like no other, she took a leap. Within that leap and shift of lifestyle she experienced different parts of the Bronx. As she moved around from Parkchester, where the merge off the highway brings in so much traffic but there’s a nearby Macy’s which is so convenient for many people. Then Castle hill a residential area to now Throgs Neck which is more like a home away from home. Growing up in Queens for some of her life makes Throgs Neck the most convenient. But aside to Throgs Neck being so close to Queens, Nicole enjoys the culture walking down the street and there is the smell of the freshly baked Italian bread and far along you see the nice small crowd at the outside seating area of the Havana Cafe having some lunch.
