The Bronx is a borough of New York City. It's known for Yankee Stadium, the home field of the New York Yankees baseball team. Dating from 1899, the vast Bronx Zoo houses hundreds of species of animals. Nearby, the sprawling New York Botanical Garden features a landmark greenhouse with rainforest and cactus displays. By the Hudson River, Wave Hill is a landscaped public garden with wooded paths and a cultural center.
The Bronx - sometimes abbreviated as BX in the city, and nicknamed The Boogie Down - with a population of 1,455,444 (2015 Est), is the only one of the five New York City boroughs that is mainly on the mainland of the United States, and not on an island (there are smaller adjacent islands that are part of the Bronx, and also an extremely small portion of Manhattan, called Marble Hill, lies on the mainland). The Bronx was originally part of Westchester County but was gradually annexed by New York City. The Bronx was completely incorporated into the city in 1898.
The Bronx is the only borough with the word “The” commonly associated with its name. That’s because in the early 1600’s, a Swedish settler named Jonas Bronck bought the land from the Native Americans who occupied the territory at the time. Whenever other land owners in the area wanted to travel to that area they would call it “The Bronck’s Land”, after his family name. At first he planned to use the land to grow tobacco crops, but it had a marshy terrain and hills, and therefore couldn’t grow anything on it.
The Bronx has a strong character all its own. It is the birthplace of rap/hip hop music and home to one of the country's most storied professional baseball teams, the New York Yankees, also known as the Bronx Bombers. Many ethnic groups have called the Bronx home over the years. Arthur Avenue is still a center of Italian American culture in New York, and many claim it has a more authentic feel than Manhattan's Little Italy. The South Bronx is more of a struggling area, but is the center of Puerto Rican culture and life. University Heights and Morris Heights are largely Dominican neighborhoods, while Woodlawn maintains a large population of Irish immigrants.
While the southern and central Bronx are mostly comprised of apartment buildings and densely built, the physical environment of the Bronx is more varied than what is normally portrayed in the popular media. For instance, Riverdale is a residential neighborhood of mostly detached single family homes located on bluffs overlooking the Hudson River. It looks more like a quiet suburb in The Bronx. Bronx Park and Van Cortlandt Park are two large and notably tranquil green spaces. City Island, located in Long Island Sound but officially part of the Bronx reminds people more of a small New England fishing village and is worth a visit. And there is a traditional downtown area called The Hub at 149 St. and Third Avenue. While not as large or extensive as the downtown area of major city, a lot of stores are in that location and it is more than just a neighborhood shopping district.

Driving Downtown - Bronx 4K - New York City USA
Driving Downtown - Bronx New York City New York USA - Episode 40.
Starting Point: .
The Bronx is the northernmost of the five boroughs of New York City, within the U.S. state of New York.
The Bronx contains one of the five poorest Congressional Districts in the United States, the 15th, but its wide diversity also includes affluent, upper-income and middle-income neighborhoods such as Riverdale, Fieldston, Spuyten Duyvil, Schuylerville, Pelham Bay, Pelham Gardens, Morris Park and Country Club.[10][11] The Bronx, particularly the South Bronx, saw a sharp decline in population, livable housing, and the quality of life in the late 1960s and the 1970s, culminating in a wave of arson. Since then the communities have shown significant redevelopment starting in the late 1980s before picking up pace from the 1990s until today.
About a quarter of the Bronx's area is open space,[5] including Woodlawn Cemetery, Van Cortlandt Park, Pelham Bay Park, the New York Botanical Garden and the Bronx Zoo in the borough's north and center. These open spaces are situated primarily on land deliberately reserved in the late 19th century as urban development progressed north and east from Manhattan.
The name Bronx originated with Jonas Bronck, who established the first settlement in the area as part of the New Netherland colony in 1639.[6][7][8] The native Lenape were displaced after 1643 by settlers. In the 19th and 20th centuries, the Bronx received many immigrant groups as it was transformed into an urban community, first from various European countries (particularly Ireland, Germany and Italy) and later from the Caribbean region (particularly Puerto Rico, Jamaica and the Dominican Republic), as well as African American migrants from the southern United States.[9] This cultural mix has made the Bronx a wellspring of both Latin music and hip hop.
Revitalization
In 1997, the Bronx was designated an All America City by the National Civic League, acknowledging its comeback from the decline of the mid-century.[65] In 2006, The New York Times reported that construction cranes have become the borough's new visual metaphor, replacing the window decals of the 1980s in which pictures of potted plants and drawn curtains were placed in the windows of abandoned buildings.[66] The borough has experienced substantial new building construction since 2002. Between 2002 and June 2007, 33,687 new units of housing were built or were under way and $4.8 billion has been invested in new housing. In the first six months of 2007 alone total investment in new residential development was $965 million and 5,187 residential units were scheduled to be completed. Much of the new development is springing up in formerly vacant lots across the South Bronx.[67]
Sports
The Bronx is the home of the New York Yankees of Major League Baseball.
⁴ᴷ Walking Tour of Downtown Newark, New Jersey - Market Street, Broad Street, & Raymond Boulevard
I walk in Downtown Newark, New Jersey from Newark Penn Station and travel along Market Street, Broad Street, and Raymond Boulevard.
From Wikipedia:
Newark is the most populous city in the U.S. state of New Jersey and the seat of Essex County. As one of the nation's major air, shipping, and rail hubs, the city had a population of 281,764 in 2016, making it the nation's 67th-most populous municipality, after being ranked 63rd in the nation in 2000.
Settled in 1666 by Puritans from New Haven Colony, Newark is one of the oldest European cities in the United States. Its location at the mouth of the Passaic River (where it flows into Newark Bay) has made the city's waterfront an integral part of the Port of New York and New Jersey. Today, Port Newark–Elizabeth is the primary container shipping terminal of the busiest seaport on the American East Coast. In addition, Newark Liberty International Airport was the first municipal commercial airport in the United States, and today is one of its busiest.
Several leading companies have their headquarters in Newark, including Prudential, PSEG, Panasonic Corporation of North America, Audible.com, IDT Corporation, and Manischewitz. A number of important higher education institutions are also in the city, including the Newark campus of Rutgers University (which includes law and medical schools and the Rutgers Institute of Jazz Studies); the New Jersey Institute of Technology; and Seton Hall University's law school. The U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey sits in the city as well. Local cultural venues include the New Jersey Performing Arts Center, Newark Symphony Hall, the Prudential Center and the Newark Museum.

Driving Downtown - Bronx Little Italy 4K - New York City USA
Driving Downtown Neighborhoods - Little Italy - Bronx New York City NY USA - Episode 8.
Starting Point: Arthur Avenue - .
Arthur Avenue is a street in the Belmont section of the Bronx, New York City's northernmost borough. It was once the heart of the Bronx's Little Italy. Little Italy generally refers to Arthur Avenue and East 187th Street.[1] Although the historical and commercial center of Little Italy is Arthur Avenue itself, the area stretches across East 187th Street from Arthur Avenue to Prospect Avenue, and is similarly lined with delis, bakeries, cafes and various Italian merchants. Unlike the ''Little Italy'' neighborhood in Manhattan, which has become a major tourist destination, the Bronx's ''Little Italy'' is considered ''The real Little Italy'' due to its Italian immigrant heritage which dates back to the 1950s.

⁴ᴷ Walking Tour of Tribeca, Manhattan, NYC (Triangle Below Canal Street)
Google Maps Route:
I walk in NYC through the lively neighborhood of Tribeca in Manhattan. This neighborhood is home to various residences, schools, restaurants, shops, and cultural centers. I walk along Chambers Street, West Street, Harrison Street, Hudson Street, Ericsson Place, Varick Street, North Moore Street, West Broadway, Leonard Street, Church Street, Worth Street, and Broadway.
From Wikipedia:
Tribeca, originally written as TriBeCa, is a neighborhood in Lower Manhattan, New York City. Its name is a syllabic abbreviation from Triangle Below Canal Street. The triangle, or more accurately, a trapezoid, is bounded by Canal Street, West Street, Broadway, and either Chambers, Vesey, or Murray Streets.
The neighborhood began as farmland, became residential in the early 19th century, then transitioned into a mercantile one centered on produce, dry goods, and textiles, before being colonized by artists and then actors, models, entrepreneurs and other celebrities. The neighborhood is home to the Tribeca Film Festival.

New York City travel guide
Renowned for its incredible dynamism, New York is one of the world's most exciting cities. Home to venerated restaurants, chic nightspots, cutting-edge theatre and architectural masterpieces, New York City is forever on the cusp of reinvention, its creativity fuelled in no small part by immigrants who hail from every corner of the globe.
The epicentre of New York City life always has been the island of Manhattan, situated on America's east home, which is home to a fascinating jumble of neighbourhoods, each with its own distinct character. Strolling the city sidewalks is the best way to come face to face with the city in all its frenetic diversity, from the bustling, sensory-rich streets of Chinatown to the peaceful, tree-lined lanes of the West Village. North, south and east of the island, are NYC's four other boroughs - the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island - all of which have their own particular attractions.
New York City is packed with highlights, and it would take a lifetime to see it all. First-time visitors will want to tick off world-class attractions like the Met Museum, the Empire State Building and the Guggenheim, while those who've visited Manhattan before should explore the city's evolving urban landscape, particularly along the park-lined West Side waterfront. A venture out to the boroughs reveals a totally different dimension to the city - whether rooting for the 'Bronx Bombers' at Yankee stadium in the Bronx, feasting on Indian cuisine in Jackson Heights, Queens; or taking in the incredible nightlife in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
Visiting the city's iconic sights is only part of the appeal of this burgeoning metropolis. The shimmering lights of Broadway, the jazz clubs of downtown, the indie rock scene of Brooklyn, and highbrow cultural fare at Lincoln Center are all part of the incredibly varied cultural scene. And those more interested in shopping have much to celebrate in New York City, with an astounding collection of colourful boutiques, high-end department stores and edgy shops selling cutting-edge couture. New York City is also a dining mecca, with thousands of restaurants serving up all the world's cuisines.
Although New York City still remembers the harrowing events of 11 September 2001, it has regained its vitality, and now marches forward to confront the challenges of the future. Symbolic of this was the reopening of the National September 11 Memorial on the 10th anniversary of the attack. Two giant pools, set in the footprints of the former twin towers, feature cascading waterfalls and the names of the 3,000 victims of 9/11. Overhead rises the soaring One World Trade Center, a 104-story skyscraper due for completion in 2014.
Other parts of the city have also seen dramatic makeovers in recent years. Coney Island has opened newly restored amusement parks, which continue to offer high-thrill rides, while still retaining its vintage character right off the boardwalk. Further north, the Brooklyn Bridge Park is substantially expanding green space within the city, adding a series of parks, ball fields and playgrounds between the Brooklyn Bridge and Atlantic Avenue.
