Parkchester Parents: Teens and Sex

Just this Memorial Day weekend I came across an item in a community paper about teens and sex. The headline says become a “Parent in the know.” Further down: details about an upcoming “safer sex awareness party for youths ages 15-24.” The party will feature contests, plenty of food and a live DJ. “Confidential HIV rapid testing” would be provided, too.

This got me thinking about how it seems as though the age at which kids start having sex dips with virtually each passing year. Sorry, I didn’t dig up actual statistics but I think most might find some measure of validity with this reasoning.

So I say, hey, concerned parents (of young adults) living in Parkchester, doesn’t this initiative to educate kids about sex through some kind of neighborly festive affair sounds worthwhile. Of course we’d do it in Parkchester’s style. If anybody has thoughts on this idea, feel free to post them in the comments section here.

Zagat Cites Parkchester’s Willie’s Steak House

Want to find out where the best restaurants are in the Bronx, specifically Parkchester? Try Zagat's guide. In their “29th year” of reporting I think it’s safe to say Zagat’s “ratings and reviews” are definitely worth viewing. Their slogan reads “The Ultimate Restaurant Guide. From the Diner’s Point of View.” And - who better - give the most honest reviews than diners themselves?

The current edition – “Zagat: New York City Restaurants 2008” – cites Willie’s Steak House. And it seems the place offers more than just fine food. Latin Jazz, anybody??? Check out Maquina Amarilla live performance at the spot.
