The Bronx

The Bronx is the home of salsa and hip-hop, and one of the main forges of Latin jazz and reggaeton.

The Bronx has a reputation from the 1970s, but it’s way better. Now the problem is gentrification.

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.

The 1970s were fifty years ago. Now the Bronx is beautiful.
