- Summary
- Often overlooked by tourists and locals alike, the Bronx is rich in cultural and historical attractions. From the Bronx Zoo (the largest urban zoo in the United States) to the New York Botanical Garden (one of the most visited botanical garden in the world), this borough has something for everyone. Visitors can explore historic sites (including where George Washington slept and where Edgar Allen Poe lived and worked), watch a game in one of the most famous baseball stadiums in the United States - Yankee Stadium - and enjoy delicious Italian food in New York's real "Little Italy" as well as fresh seafood at City Island.
