Bienvenidos! Welcome! As the newly elected Bronx Borough President, I am honored and excited to share greetings in this year’s Bronx Visitors Guide about our great borough that spans 12 community boards, over 50 neighborhoods and some of the best restaurants, cultural attractions, and shopping destinations in New York City.
Our borough has a little bit of something for everyone, and this guide will serve as a resource to you and your family to explore some of the best locations to visit during your trip to the Boogie Down.
You can see exciting cultural exhibits from diverse artists across the city by going to The Bronx Museum of the Arts or to Wave Hill, attend a baseball game at Yankee Stadium, eat delicious Italian cuisine on Arthur Avenue, enjoy seafood by the water on City Island, take your family on a wildlife adventure at The Bronx Zoo, partake in an activity at the 250-acre New York Botanical Garden, enjoy a nature walk through one of our local parks, take in a concert at Orchard Beach, or sit back and enjoy a drink at one of our breweries or distilleries.
Whatever you are in the mood to do, we have it here in The Bronx, and we are always expanding and evolving to suit the needs and interests of our residents and visitors.
Let the information in this guide motivate you to explore The Bronx and see firsthand what makes this borough a great place to visit. You can also view this guide on a smartphone, electronic device, or on the official website of The Bronx Tourism Council, www. Ilovethebronx.com.
Enjoy your time in The Bronx and please don’t ever hesitate to say hello to me or my team while you are here.
