Bronx County, New York
The Bronx is more than just a borough of New York City. It’s a community with a character all its own. You’ll find it at the northern tip of New York City, just across the Harlem River from Manhattan. This place has grit and heart.
It’s the birthplace of hip-hop and home to the New York Yankees. The Bronx Zoo is world-famous, housing thousands of animals from across the globe. Fordham University adds a scholarly vibe to the mix. The New York Botanical Garden is a bit of green in the urban landscape.
Despite its tough reputation, the Bronx has some of the city’s friendliest neighborhoods. It’s a melting pot of cultures, where you’ll hear dozens of languages spoken on the street. Even if you don’t like the Bronx, you like the Bronx.
