Bronx, NYC - New Yorkled - Page 2

Wave Hill - 675 West 252nd Street - Located within Riverdale on the edge of the Hudson is yet another treasure of natural art. Opened year 'round with a low charge for entry, is the Grounds of the Wave Hill Manor where you can walk about and take some truly awesome photographs. There are green houses for yuor perusal, gardens, spots to rest and take in the wonderful Hudson air, an indoor/outdoor cafe and the fantastic panoramic views of the Jersey Palisades and the Great River down below.
Visit the Wave Hill Page of this Site.

City Island - Across from the City Island Bridge, just beyond the Pelham Bit Stables and Pelham Bay Park - This nautical neighborhood is stock full of great seafood restaurants along it's main strip. Walking along or even taking the bus into City Island will allow you to see the mast poles of some of the boats located on the Islands edge. Travel to the far end and get to see the Long Island Sound. There's also the City Island Nautical Museum which is opened only on Sundays unfortunately.
Much more to some on this Bronx neighborhood along with many photos. Stay tuned.

Pelham Bit Stables - 9 Shore Road - At and around Pelham Bay Park and midway to City Island is this Equestrian Treat. You'll get the thrill of learning to ride a horse, or if you already know how then better!
Visit the Equestrian Page of New Yorkled to learn about this and other riding academies in NYC.

Pelham Bay Park - Top of the Bronx in the Pelham Bay section - At 2,765 acres of natural woodland this is the largest Park in all of NYC. Within is the Historical Bartow-Pell Mansion Museum and Gardens, the Split Rock Golf Course, playgrounds aplenty, tennis courts, the Pelham Bit Stables mentioned above, City Island nearby, ballfields, and hey! even Orchard Beach. So it certainly earns its title as New York City's biggest and well almost very best park. That title belongs to Central Park. Oh well.

Van Cortlandt Park and Van Corlandt House Museum - 242nd Street/Broadway and beyond - This large park and Museum is a wonderful part of the borough. With a sports field, a few famous trails for you to trek along and even a chance to go horse back riding and play golf. It's among the top five largest parks in NYC. Not exactly something worth going out of your way for, but should you be in the neigborhood then definitely pay it a visit.

There's alot more to come on all of the great sights, parks, bridges, historical features and everything else as they pertain to The Bronx. (BTW, as to why or rather, how this borough's name came to be preceded by the word "the" is explained on the first page of these Bronx pages. You may find it interesting.

So continue your tour of our great city and hope you're return to help us in our celebration of New York City.

Cheers!
