Bronx

It is curious that many New York visitors think that the Bronx is a separate district at the heart of the luxurious Big Apple like Brooklyn, Queens or Harlem but it's the only district in New York that is part of the mainland and is separated only by the Harlem River. I do not want to talk about what everyone always says about the Bronx and it being dangerous. On the contrary, it's a neighborhood where rap and hip hop were born and where more than 75 languages ​​and dialects, predominantly of English and Spanish, mix together. To understand this, though, we of course need to know a little history.

We drove through Bronx. They said it was a bit risky to walk through its streets. It is a neighborhood left of Harlem. We stopped to buy a drink and they told us that the neighborhood had the best nightlife around. There are houses of all kinds, but yes, with gates on all doors and windows. We saw houses with signs that authorize the police to enter without a warrant to arrest traffickers and common criminals. We were also struck by the painted faces of young boys.
