Grub Crawl - Belle Isle: Conway Cafe and Bronx Pizza

I got a few things to go here on my way to the airport on Wednesday afternoon. I was going to try a Turkish place on 436, but, they were closed (Ramadan?) until August. These places are on Hoffner Ave (Belle Isle).

Conway Cafe - I had a BLT for $4 at this prototypical cafe because I feel that these kinds of places are usually a tad overpriced for the level of food. It was fine. The place is a little old. It's in a strip mall before you get into Belle Isle from 436. They said they have been in business for fifteen years. It seats around fifty. It was pretty empty. I think the breakfast/lunch rush was over.

Bronx Pizza - This is right next door to Conway. It was the reason I chose this area. I saw the sign on a previous trip to a Cajun place nearby. It was very authentic NY pizza parlor pizza. The cheese is mass produced and the sauce was almost non-existent, but, I've had worse down here. The place seats about fifty. It was empty. They have NYC themed posters, etc on the wall.
