context_page_description: Belmont is a primarily residential neighborhood in the Bronx in New York City. Its boundaries are Fordham Road to the north, Bronx Park to the east, East 181st Street to the south, and Third Avenue to the west. These boundaries give the neighborhood a crescent-like shape. The neighborhood is noted for its "close-knit community" and "small town feel", and as a result of its cultural history and wide array of Italian businesses, is widely known as the "Little Italy of the Bronx". Arthur Avenue, noted for its local restaurants and markets, is its primary thoroughfare.
  Belmont is part of Bronx Community Board 6, and its ZIP Codes include 10457, 10458 and 10460. It is patrolled by the New York City Police Department's 48th Precinct.
context_section_description: Among the neighborhood's array of Italian restaurants and markets, there are multiple landmarks. Our Lady of Mount Carmel, a Roman Catholic church on E. 187th Street at the corner of Belmont Avenue, was constructed in 1906. The Arthur Avenue Retail Market, which extends the block between Arthur Avenue and Belmont Avenue, features an array of Italian meats, cheeses, and other goods, as well as cigars, a bar, and a dining area.
  Parks in the area include the Ciccarone Playground; and the D'Auria Murphy Triangle located at 183rd Avenue, which features a monument to Christopher Columbus. Theodore Roosevelt High School, a large public school, opened in 1918.
  The Bronx Zoo and the New York Botanical Garden are also at the northeastern edge of Belmont, attracting worldwide visitors. Adjacent to them is the campus of Fordham University, on Fordham Road at Belmont's northern boundary. A private Roman Catholic university originally established as St. John's College in 1841, it features Collegiate Gothic architecture and is frequently listed among America's most scenic campuses. It has been used as a filming location for many movies, including A Beautiful Mind, Center Stage and The Exorcist.
