Located in Parkchester on 1498 Metropolitan Avenue, Wonder is centered around 20+ different cuisines under one roof, including Mexican, Texas barbecue, Italian, Thai, budget-friendly bowls and more.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe started in New York City and so we wanted to make sure that we were in every borough,\u201d said Stephanie Brown, who leads Government and Cultural Affairs for Wonder. \u201cSo we\u2019re really excited to be in the Bronx, and this is now rounding out our five boroughs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The event included a ribbon cutting right outside the establishment, and free goodies to the first 100 guests, which included a tote bag and a hat. Guests were in line since 10 a.m., in hopes of getting free Wonder swag.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-143380\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/21-_DSC5938.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\"  \/>After the ribbon cutting ceremony, guests were able to order from 20+ food vendors.

So to have something that has so much variety and it\u2019s such a different concept, to have it here in the Bronx, in the heart of Parkchester, is a point of pride.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-143382\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/4-_DSC5789.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\"  \/>Guests were waiting in line since 10 a.m., for the new \u201cWonder\u201d a digital food wall which opened in Parkchester at 1498 Metropolitan Ave. Photo by Alice Moreno<\/p>\n<p>The opening of Wonder has provided many jobs for the community, even hiring people who live across the street, according to General Manager Chef Mari.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe do have a very diverse community here,\u201d said Chef Mari. \u201cSo a little bit of Mediterranean, a little Indian, a little Thai, whatever you want to eat. And if you have a family member that\u2019s picky [\u2026] instead of ordering from different venues or just packing on that delivery fee from third party [vendors], I can order from [Wonder, that offers] pickup and delivery.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Assemblywoman Karines Reyes, General Manager Chef Mari and Senator Nathalia Fernandez, officially cut the ribbon, celebrating the first&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":758059,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5122],"tags":[5229,311666,183202,255198,311667,405,403,5226,5225,5228,5227,42049,311668,67,586,132,5230,68,2969,132365,311669,311670,311671],"class_list":["post-758058","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-america","tag-digital-food-hall","tag-ghost-kitchen","tag-karines-reyes","tag-nathalia-fernandez","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-newyork","tag-newyorkcity","tag-ny","tag-nyc","tag-parkchester","tag-stephanie-brown","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa","tag-wonder","tag-wonder-in-nyc","tag-wonder-in-parkchester","tag-wonder-in-the-bronx"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116480206338043749","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/758058","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=758058"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/758058\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/758059"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=758058"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=758058"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=758058"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
