The Bronx

The Bronx is a cultural forge. It is the home of Salsa and Rap, and one of the main forges of Latin Jazz and Reggaeton.

Flushing is a mostly Chinese neighborhood. On some streets, you wonder what country you are in because most of the signs are in Chinese. The food is great.

Things To Do in The Bronx

We cover most events by place or neighborhood, but a few are Bronx-wide.

October 2022

The 20th Open House New York 2022 is a weekend of open houses and tours at almost 300 buildings and infrastructure all over New York City, Friday-Sunday, October 21-23, 2022. Free.

We Love The Bronx

The Bronx has a reputation from the 1970s, but it’s not like that any more. Now the problem is gentrification.

For the record, we got the blame, but the problems were created when Robert Moses destroyed healthy middle-class neighborhoods to build the Cross-Bronx Expressway. That caused a lot of abandonment and landowners began burning their own buildings for the insurance money. The 1970s were fifty years ago. The Bronx is beautiful. We ❤️ The Bronx!

The borough has more space and diverse communities. There is a Garifuna community in Crotona. The Little Italy on Arthur Avenue in Belmont is popular. Fordham has a university. Concourse, the “Champs-Élysées of The Bronx” is busy. Kingsbridge is cool. Riverdale is upscale. Pelham Bay has green space. Mott Haven is gentrifying rapidly because it’s so close to Manhattan.
