Edit
The Bronx is considered one of New York’s trendiest neighborhoods. Separated from Manhattan by the Harlem River, the Bronx is busy, chaotic, and diverse — in fact, more than 75 different languages are spoken here. While it’s famous for its attractions like Yankee Stadium and the Bronx Zoo, there’s much more to this iconic borough.
Overflowing with unique charm and classic brownstones, the Bronx also features art deco designs and amazing food in locations like Little Italy. Hip-hop originated in South Bronx during the 1980s, and music is still an integral part of the community.
You might think living in the Bronx means traffic horns, concrete, and pedestrian-filled sidewalks. And, yes, that’s all true, but there are several parks in the Bronx, as well. The New York Botanical Garden stands out with an impressive sprawl of 50 gardens and 30,000 trees. Orchard Beach provides a sweet waterside escape, while Wave Hill Public Gardens offers scenic views of the Hudson River.
