Check out La Masa Colombian restaurant in Morris Park which offers tons of vegan options. Also, Bartow Pell Mansion, Poe Park Cottage and Visitor Center, pelham Bay Park the largest of all NYC Parks, Kingsbridge Armory (biggest armory in the world)

[@annmarieb5895]

More please. Thank you for showing the positivity of our borough. Another great place would be New York Botanical Gardens. My favorite time is during Christmas holidays when they have the train show. Also The Bronx Zoo,. The Bronx Museum.

Thank you Sarah for highlighting the Bronx, definitely lots of hidden gems. Near the St. James Church on the Grand Concourse, is Edgar Allen Poe’s house which is a museum. You also have to check out City Island.

Just down the block from the West Farm Rapids is an entrance to the Bronx Zoo so you can make a day of it.

When I was a little girl, about 10 years old, about 50 years ago me and my friends would walk across the top of that water fall to sneak into the botanical gardens. Great memories.

[@beverlybmwwilkerson5923]

The Bronx dirty now! Citizens deserve better!!!!!!!!!! I know cus that's my stomping ground. It needs a good washing n scrubbing daily! Fix the streets. Wash the curbs and side walks down on alternate side parking cus sweeping with those nasty trucks 🚚 ain't cuttin' it.

[@randee4550]

You can't go into the NYBG through that waterfall. That (man-made) waterfall, is located on E. 180th, off of Boston Rd. The NYBG, is located north of Fordham Rd, by Southern Blvd. So that's a physical impossibility, unless you found some sort of portal, that teleported you there. That's the Bronx Zoo, on the other side, of that waterfall, and it'll leave you, by the lift, off of where the trolley runs by. You'll also be knee high in mud.

[@louistroche5830]

@@randee4550 I lived across the street from that waterfall almost 50 years ago before lamberg projects was built. That park was different back then but you're right, there is no way to follow the river north through the zoo. I remember my father going in the water back then. You cant do that now.

[@dorlisastjean4072]

I would like to say thank you so very much for broadcasting the Bronx, my hometown, the way it should be. People always tell me how boring the Bronx is but I always say, "There is no such thing as a boring place. There is however lazy people who don't know how to find things to do". I appreciate you and one of the many KZbinrs who truly can make any place be enjoyable. Thank you 😭😭😭 I must check these places out once again since I am still in the Bronx. Edit: Only a few places I never knew existed but I really am excited to check out. Many people don't know about Edgar Allen Poe's Cottage, Pelham Bay Park being the biggest park in NYC [not Central Park], and Wave Hill Public Garden. There are islands there close to the Bronx too like North Brothers Island but some you may not access. Oh and you can't forget City Island [which to me has amazing seafood 😋].

[@SarahFunky]

Thank you Dorlisa! The Bronx is awesome and I'm happy to showcase it! Thanks for your other suggestions!

@@AntiMasonic93 I know. That's why I gave her a thumbs up.

[@beverlybmwwilkerson5923]

Exactly...The Bronx! Man, for the most part the Bronx is dirty. The roads are bumpby with potholes, orange barrels line the streets and have been lining the streets and the freeway under passes for 40, yes 40 or more years. No place to park, residents in my opinion get the short end if the stick, yet they are loyal to the Bronx and deserve better. No wonder you're spotlighting art work and bodegas cus you know you bet not walk the streets under where the homeless people take cover by the GWB and by Tremont, Webster and all up in there where residents deserve cleanliness. Not to mention the South Bronx and how dirty and drab Orchard Beach looks. Omg, gurl Bye!

[@BigHeavyGyalDem]

@@beverlybmwwilkerson5923 I’ve lived in The Bronx my entire life as well as been to almost every neighborhood in NYC at least twice. Every borough has their good and bad areas. What you speak of, unfortunately, represents only a portion of what The Bronx is like. Videos like this are necessary because of the narrow and negative narrative people like you constantly share about what the entire borough is like. There is a lot of beauty here and it’s nice to have that represented.

You crushed PART 2 Sarah! Can't wait for PART 3!! 🔥🔥🔥 Definitely surprised by the West Farm Rapids, Abandoned Railway and Secret Tiffany Windows. Excited to check out Casa Grande Cigars too as I recently got into cigars and have been looking for a great spot in the Bronx. My wife reminded me that I totally should of suggested Taqueria Tlaxcalli. So glad you ended up finding out about and covering them. Their fried chicken tacos are so good after those burritos!! Great content as always. 💪 Thank you!!

[@lmitchell7976]

I like the video! I Always tell people that The Bronx is beautiful; the media downplay it by only showing the crimes and crimes is everywhere in a America. I love to see and hear the history of Woodlawn cemetery and White Plains Road. Don't forget the Caribbean food!

[@beverlybmwwilkerson5923]

....it's dirty though. especially the streets and over and under passes. The Bronx citizens deserve better PERIODTT.

[@dv7548]

This is special to me. Back in my youth we lined up a piece of rope up on tree and swing dive into the river behind the waterfall. If you're old enough you'll remember that. It was lots of fun and the Bronx Zoo was right next door. In fact there was way to get in the zoo up stream.The entrance into park seem the same except for bbq's they were not there then, park seem to changed though wish you showed more of it from behind the sign. Thank you for sharing this walk thru of my pass. Stay safe and Happy New Year

[@SarahFunky]

Wow that is so cool! I bet it was a lot of fun :)

[@steverosenberg266]

As a child back in the early 60's, we lived close enough that my mom would take me and my sisters to the waterfall at least once or twice a week. Later, we moved close to the Bronx zoo. So close, that we went there nearly every day just to play.

[@HPunster]

Just tried Taqueria Tlaxcalli, and it was amazing! Wish I’d known about it when I lived a few blocks from there! FYI, the Chang Li market around the corner on Benedict Ave is a fantastic place. It’s got a ridiculous selection of imported foods, really unbelievable. The produce and seafood are off the hook!

The Bronx has the largest park within the five boroughs: Pelham Bay Park. It’s actually really beautiful to take a day and picnic around there. Surprisingly enough, it has more natural landscapes than nearly all the boroughs as well. These things make it beautiful. And the food too!

Re: Bronx River - Now you know why there's a Saw Mill River Parkway. Also, long ago, my Dad and I were rowing on the Bronx River - I was rowing south and he was relaxing.

[@crazeyjoe]

I can understand if one is short on time with the visit to NYC, especially first timers, to stick to the famous tourist sites. For those who are not, it is highly suggested to visit an outer borough (The Bronx, Brooklyn, Staten Island and Queens) and go to some under the radar areas that are both unique to NYC yet are shockingly "non typical!"

[@BigHeavyGyalDem]

Sarah, please do another Bronx spotlight in the Spring/Summer and head to the Bartow-Pell Mansion Museum.

[@randee4550]

@@jesussalvador8495 That area, has been modified, for out of towners, years ago. It has since, lost it's authentic Italian feel, with the influx I Albanians, and Mexicans. Decades ago, it was a magical place. But those days, are long gone. You're better off, going around Buhre Ave. One of the last quickly vanishing strong holds, for Italian Americans, in The Bronx. NYC's demographics, have had a dramatic change, in the past 2 decades, or so. Decades ago, 92% of Hispanics, in The Bronx, were Puerto Rican. Today, it's only 48%. African Americans, also had a huge exodus, to the south. Specifically Atlanta. N.Y. Puerto Ricans, have flooded Florida, and to top it off, the post Maria Puerto Ricans, came over to Florida, by the boatloads. It's projected that Florida's Puerto Rican population, will spread surpass that of NYC, in less than 5 years from now. In the meantime, Mexican births, in NYC, have broken all records, since the inception of tracking births, in NYC. No ethnic group, in the history of NYC, has had a higher birthrate, than Mexicans. We probably won't see it. But within the next 40 years, NYC will be unrecognizable, to those that were raised in the 70's/80's/early 90's. Just like how older people, would always mention how much The Bronx has changed, back in the 80's. Now I'm "older people", seeing yet more changes, and the watering down, of original Bronx culture.
