The Bronx, NYC Detailed Day Itinerary

The northernmost borough. The birthplace of hip-hop. The home of the New York Yankees. The borough I frequent the least. You are probably wondering why that is! It’s not because I have beef for the Bronx, although there is a very well known “war” between Bronx and Brooklyn on who is the best borough. It is because the distance from Brooklyn and the Bronx is the FURTHEST compared to the other boroughs.
