The Bronx neighborhood It is one of the best known of all the districts of NY and it is the one that is further north and is the only one that is not on the island of Manhattan but on the mainland, having a population of approximately one and a half million inhabitants. It is a neighborhood well known for the deterioration that many of its areas suffer and because it is the most conflictive and problematic of all, at least that is what the legend says, because a woman as glamorous as Jennifer López grew up there, so it must be the exception confirming the rule.
In the part that borders the Hudson River You can see a spectacular landscape of with the typical American houses with gardens and parents and children playing baseball or American football. In order to go to Manhattan from the Bronx you can use one of the subway lines that connect both places or elevated highways built for quick communication from any part of the city, although the most beautiful way of making the journey is by the normal highway and crossing any of the ten bridges that cross the Harlem river, it is a true wonder.
In the Bronx you can see the mythical Yankees Stadium, where the New York Yankees baseball team plays and that will soon cease to be their place of play as they will move to another. You can also visit the Bronx Zoo or the New York Botanical Garden, one of the first in the United States and with 48 gardens and a wide variety of plant collections. Among its gardens, two of the largest in New York, Pelham Bay and Van Cortlandt Park.
