Most people know the Bronx for its three record-breaking attractions: Yankee Stadium, home to the winningest team in baseball history; Bronx Zoo, the country’s largest urban zoo; and the New York Botanical Garden, the largest garden in any city in the United States. The city’s northernmost borough also boasts the city’s largest public park (Pelham Bay Park) and oldest public golf course in the country (Van Cortlandt). As a place to live, the birthplace to hip-hop offers plenty to do, plus a huge variety of cuisines from every ethnicity, lots of affordable housing, loads of Art Deco architecture, green space galore, and convenient transportation.
