Free admission is the best thing about making a pass by. Within walking distance from the stadium. A gift shop, new cafe and those 1st Friday events make this the anchor of the concourse! Cool vibes!
While colossal by stadium standards, this is a redo from the original that BabeRuth played in. Check out the plaza with historic plaques. Concerts, soccer, and football have been hosted here as well.
Bring walking shoes and plan a day around this "forest in the hood". Lots of areas to explore. Lookout for chipmunks, grass snakes, w/ an occasional cyote that has been spotted before! Do the tram!
You can call it the Bronx and no one will believe you! An oasis on top of the world hidden with gardens and paths that require a map to navigate. The galleries and shop will impress. So many events!!
In the middle of Grand Concourse and looking SO out of place is the cottage that could use a level to keep it from sinking. Bring the "bux" as the admission is non negotiable. There are hourly tours.
How in the world did this place end up here? Off the beaten track and worth the extra effort it takes to find. While the space could use a few more retailers. You can check out the beerhall AND shop!
Across from the Botanical garden and near Arthur Avenue, is the largest zoo in the US. Habitats are pretty life like and there is a tram to help you get around. Cafe is on premise if hunger strikes.
Formerly New York University's uptown campus. It's now part of BCC. A great place to visit for history and architecture without the crowds of those midtown attractions. 98 sculpted busts. A walk!!!
Modeled after Champs Elysees? Art deco architecture alone is worth seeing. Recent signage denotes a Bronx Walk of Fame. It's more approachable in the daylight hours and has recently has a renovation.
Calling this place a cemetery is such an injustice. It's really a cultural park that happens to have some famous people buried there as well. Monthly events, walking tours, and a chapel, are ideal!
Once where they made actual notes for currency, the place had become an artists haven. Most have vacated to make room for the biz incubator that intends to bring young talent to these barren parts.
A guest house. A hospitality training program. An artists space. A gallery. A skate garden and God knows what else. Once housing for the well to do convalescent set. A cafe and renovation would help.
Trekking amongst the housing projects requires some bravery. Efforts are rewarded with art that is usually progressive and events well attended. The place draws a pretty good mix of Bronx artists.
A gallery combined with outdoor screening patio makes for a venue of grand proportions at this culturally under served hamlet. Films usually revolve around Bronx topics. Admission is suggested only!
If you get the chance to see their Latino version of the Nutcracker, it will make you wish that it was just a bit closer to rest of the Bronx cultural stops. Latino and GBLTQ productions are the plus!
Why in the world would there be consideration to make this into a market with Bronx Terminal market just down the street? While the building is landmarked an addition may be placed atop. Murals!!!
An anomaly if there ever was one. Gated and well protected. Bring id if you are visiting for ANY reason or pay the consequences of non entry. Private institution with ivy league aspirations. So Waspy.
One of the newer additions to the CUNY set. Located in the middle of all the chaos that So. Bronx is known for. Cross to visit the other side of the campus with rosary in hand and a quickness! Active.
If you can get the culture trolley once a month that makes a stop here, then do so. Otherwise, the hours can make even the most patient less of a saint. Across from Pregones theater and Art & Culture.
There is a theater here and they have shows. When is about a good a guess as any. Asking at the desk may be fruitless but the shows that are shown are reputable. In the middle of a creative community.
If it weren't for the graffiti on the wall outside, most would bypass this gem in the Bronx without even a glance. Galleries, arts programming, a cafe and theater make it a destination. A bit isolated
Until Highbrigde is open, this is the only route that connects Washington Heights to the Bronx. If your looking for a breath of fresh air, you're not going to find it here. Traffic gets exhausting.
Reaching the top of this park requires some exertion. Those young men walking pit-bulls do deter from the peace and tranquility. quite a discovery of the Concourse's hidden oasis. ideal for an escape
To all the locals it's the Clocktower cafe. If the owner's feel a little rebranding helps..so be it. Prices for bar food can be a bit noveau for local budgets. Attracts biz execs and artists with bux!
If you are looking for breakdancing crews, graffit tagsi, hip hop, mc's and the like, you are going to have more of a difficult time than you would have in say 1982. They still exist just on the DL.
By far the best park in the Bx. River views and peaceful surroundings allow for privacy and seclusion. Behind the tennis center offers additional benches. A prime respite after box store shopping.
The BMX crew, skaters, and long boarders have discovered this space which is at capacity most days. Not too far from Yankee stadium and good for a quick peek if you want to view some tricks and flesh
A nice break from the overcrowded skatepark across from the stadium. Since the joint is in the Bx..before sure to show up with some skills or be sorry you were unprepared to battle. Better than most.
On the lot that housed the original Yankee Stadium. You might be confused and think you accidentally crossed into Staten Island by the looks of the landscaping. Gets overrun during game days. Very new
Known as an industrial park and it's access to the Food Market nearby. Walking through is not suggested or be solicited for your $ervice$. (Female usually, but not necessarily). Needs trees and air.
One of the few stable neighborhoods in these parts. Come for the cinema, unless you are seeking out a bail bondsmen or custody of your 3 children. The coops are sure to get gentrified real soon!
Don't be confused with the more trendy Mott Haven. One can be sure to find night club, recording studio, or distillery scattered amongst the trash heaps and abandoned warehouses. Transport is lacking.
"This is Riverdale. How DARE you call it the Bronx. We have a synagogue for God's sake"! Elitist is an understatement. You may find the occasional latino or African descendant. are they working there?
On the cusp of Riverdale and Kingsbridge. If they open an Applebee's and a Target you can be sure things are not what they used to be. Part of Manhattan zip code wise, but not by geographics. Small.
Gated communities and private schools means this is NOT your normal NYC group. You're only going to end up here if you are checking out the wealth while driving through. If only we all lived like this
No matter what they say. No matter what they do. The (9) ice rinks planned for this space are going to transform the surrounding blocks. Look for the NY Islanders to be practicing here and classes!
Ideal for those attending Yankee games that want to avoid that "gotcha" feeling after being stuck in traffic for hours AND having to pay the ridiculous parking fees. It's a bit of a walk, but clean!
Getting to this station from the rest of Riverdale requires some navigation skills and hiking boots. If nothing else pass by for the view of the Hudson river alone. Be sure to purchase tix before trip
One of the more popular stations on this line. Trains stop in both directions every 30 min. The tix machine is in lot on Manhattan side, so look for it. Crossing the roadway that borders can be tricky
There is an infamous curve here that was the site of a recent accident that left some injured. If you can ignore that fact the view is memorable and you may actually get a seat if you go to the rear!
The platform that should actually be in Manhattan, has a (1) station stop nearby. Getting protection from the elements may be wishful thinking. If only MTA would build a connector. gets quite crowded!
This station is newly renovated as much of the area sites are nearby. One of the busier stations that will be teeming with students from the private school on their way into Westchester. Direct trains
The perfect place to get some info on what else the Bronx has to offer while you view some art. Modern, clean, and comfy. This is a hidden find just across from the cottage within the park. Restrooms!
A nature trail. A running track. (2) golf courses AND a museum? If they added a zoo & rink, you might confuse this place with Central Park! Ideal for bird watching and tree gazing in all it's glory!!!
How does one create a park out of a junkyard? In collab with The CDC point you can experience art, performance, sculptures, and some unusual events adjacent to the trees and plants. Best in summer.
We haven't had the chance to visit, but from what the word is on the street, this park is THE place to be when the weather permits. Outdoor pools, new benches, trees, and no riff-raff. River connect.
Go here for the soups, hand made pizzas, and plump sandwiches. Honestly, the salad station is tops. Visit 30 minutes after opening or before closing for less wait. Some staff drag their feet. Lemonade
This place is in the middle of nowhere and yet manages to attract marquee talent. This is to the Bronx what the Apollo is to Harlem. Within the campus, so bring id and some walking shoes. real talent
May be referred to as Lehman stages. It's also the site where the Bx. Int'l Film Fest takes place in November. You can get a good stroll on prior to entering or watch some teams practice.
Well the Bronx is no longer burning, but this area is on fire with the hipsters priced out of Billyburg, Harlem, and Bushwick. It hasn't quite built the status as an in spot. But it won't be long!!!
A stone's throw from the court houses and Bx. museum. Yankee stadium is within earshot. The surrounding architecture is, in and of itself, worth a visit. Open and well maintained. One of the better!
Getting GBLTQ services in the Bx can be a challenge by itself. This program, for the folks at PSI, offer group discussions, games, open mic, metro card snacks! Life coaching is available so why not?
Get here early in the colder months or find yourself desperately waiting for seating with the hipster Caucasian art neophytes that have decided that this is Ground Zero for sushi, noodles & tofu.
Bring your tour guide and hiking shoes. By the time you find this place, you may not have the energy for much else. Hidden on the 4th floor with little signage. Supplies the baseball school next door.
Not purchasing a 40 and a "loose"? Then you'll likely end up here. Only open until 9pm. (It's still So. Bx after all). The selection leans toward high style baller impressing his girl. Odd layout.
Health stores in the So. Bronx are a bit of an oxymoron, but give them credit for taking a risk. ESL seems not to be needed yet the communication barrier exists nonetheless. Across from Lincoln Hosp.
While Mott Haven has had it's share of galleries, this one has a (5) year lease and it's on a corner. Unheard of in the transient art world! Owned byTats Cru of graffiti fame. Non pretentious Bx art!
Someone has gotten on the ball and decided to forgo the steamtable in the diningroom for a more servicable look. Latin specialties will appeal to the locals. Beer and wine will have do for the rest.
Why is it that this state of the art library, that is open until 9pm with umpteen computers available, more of a chatfest? The outdoor deck rocks for peace and solitude which seems to be lacking here.
Boutique hotel? Bronx? A bit of an anomaly, yet it works quite well in this working class nabe near many subway lines, Overnight stay gets you use of the gym next door. Could use more dining option.
Couture is the name of the game by this Bx. local Boutique meets atelier meets gift gallery. Definitely geared toward the fashion conscious. Young talent means fresh looks that are unique and forward.
All those artists that can't afford a glass of wine at the new trendy establishments can now purchase bottles up until 11:30. Liquor is behind the counter for heartier elixirs. Not open on Sundays.
With a location in Harlem, these coffee veterans have ventured into So. Bro piano district. The design will surely please those seeking an alternative to the bodega cafe con leche. Art and music soon!
Come here for city skyline views and watch the planes land at LGA airport across the LI sound. The perfect place to grab a quick swig w\o the hassle of PO cruisers. Laid back and chill. Very clean!
