10 Reasons Why You Should Get Lost in the Bronx
For either tourists or locals, the Bronx is not exactly a popular New York City destination. Being the birthplace of hip-hop, a hub for immigrant groups around the world, and home to some of the city’s most historic landmarks, we believe the borough more than deserves your attention. Here, we’ve compiled a list of 10 reasons you should get lost—or get down—in the Boogie Down Bronx.
1. Celebrate spring all year long at the New York Botanical Garden
Botanical Garden, Museum, Park, Zoo
Enjoy cuisine with character
At menu-less eatery Ebe Ye Yie, diners order by peeking through a Plexiglass window and selecting cooked rice balls, peanut butter stew, chunky sweat-inducing pepper relish, and whatever else the Ghanian kitchen is serving up that day. Meanwhile, at 188 Bakery Cuchifritos, traditional Puerto Rican and Dominican salt-cod pancakes, garlicky mashed plantains, and fried pork chunks are gobbled up by locals and in-the-know foodies. Just two examples of many, the borough is bursting with flavorful ethnic cuisine from independently run restaurants.
