The Bronx is a borough of New York City. It's known for Yankee Stadium, the home field of the New York Yankees baseball team. Dating from 1899, the vast Bronx Zoo houses hundreds of species of animals. Nearby, the sprawling New York Botanical Garden features a landmark greenhouse with rainforest and cactus displays. By the Hudson River, Wave Hill is a landscaped public garden with wooded paths and a cultural center.
The Bronx - sometimes abbreviated as BX in the city, and nicknamed The Boogie Down - with a population of 1,455,444 (2015 Est), is the only one of the five New York City boroughs that is mainly on the mainland of the United States, and not on an island (there are smaller adjacent islands that are part of the Bronx, and also an extremely small portion of Manhattan, called Marble Hill, lies on the mainland). The Bronx was originally part of Westchester County but was gradually annexed by New York City. The Bronx was completely incorporated into the city in 1898.
The Bronx is the only borough with the word “The” commonly associated with its name. That’s because in the early 1600’s, a Swedish settler named Jonas Bronck bought the land from the Native Americans who occupied the territory at the time. Whenever other land owners in the area wanted to travel to that area they would call it “The Bronck’s Land”, after his family name. At first he planned to use the land to grow tobacco crops, but it had a marshy terrain and hills, and therefore couldn’t grow anything on it.
The Bronx has a strong character all its own. It is the birthplace of rap/hip hop music and home to one of the country's most storied professional baseball teams, the New York Yankees, also known as the Bronx Bombers. Many ethnic groups have called the Bronx home over the years. Arthur Avenue is still a center of Italian American culture in New York, and many claim it has a more authentic feel than Manhattan's Little Italy. The South Bronx is more of a struggling area, but is the center of Puerto Rican culture and life. University Heights and Morris Heights are largely Dominican neighborhoods, while Woodlawn maintains a large population of Irish immigrants.
While the southern and central Bronx are mostly comprised of apartment buildings and densely built, the physical environment of the Bronx is more varied than what is normally portrayed in the popular media. For instance, Riverdale is a residential neighborhood of mostly detached single family homes located on bluffs overlooking the Hudson River. It looks more like a quiet suburb in The Bronx. Bronx Park and Van Cortlandt Park are two large and notably tranquil green spaces. City Island, located in Long Island Sound but officially part of the Bronx reminds people more of a small New England fishing village and is worth a visit. And there is a traditional downtown area called The Hub at 149 St. and Third Avenue. While not as large or extensive as the downtown area of major city, a lot of stores are in that location and it is more than just a neighborhood shopping district.

The Bronx is the northernmost of the five boroughs of New York City. It is also known as Bronx County, the last of the 62 counties of New York State to be incorporated. Located north of Manhattan and Queens, and south of Westchester County, the Bronx is the only borough that is located primarily on the mainland (a very small portion of Manhattan is located on the mainland named Marble Hill). The Bronx's population is 1,400,761 according to the 2010 United States Census.[1] The borough has a land area of 42 square miles (109 km2), making it the fourth most populated of the five boroughs, the fourth-largest in land area, and the third-highest in density of population.[2][3]

The Bronx is divided by the Bronx River into a hillier section in the west, closer to Manhattan, and the flatter East Bronx, closer to Long Island. The West Bronx was annexed to New York City (then largely confined to Manhattan) in 1874, and the areas east of the Bronx River in 1895.[5] The Bronx first assumed a distinct legal identity when it became a borough of Greater New York in 1898. Bronx County, with the same boundaries as the borough, was separated from New York County (afterwards coextensive with the Borough of Manhattan) as of January 1, 1914.[6] Although the Bronx is the third-most-densely-populated county in the U.S.,[2] about a quarter of its area is open space,[7] including Woodlawn Cemetery, Van Cortlandt Park, Pelham Bay Park, the New York Botanical Garden and the Bronx Zoo in the borough's north and center, on land deliberately reserved in the late 19th century as urban development progressed northwards and eastwards from Manhattan with the building of roads, bridges and railways.
The Bronx River was named for Jonas Bronck, an early settler from Småland in Sweden whose land bordered the river on the east. The borough of the Bronx was named for the river that was Bronck's River. The indigenous Lenape (Delaware) American Indians were progressively displaced after 1643 by settlers from the Netherlands and Great Britain. The Bronx received many Irish, German, Jewish and Italian immigrants as its once-rural population exploded between the mid-19th and mid-20th centuries. They were succeeded after 1945 by African Americans and Hispanic Americans from the Caribbean basin — especially Puerto Rico[8] and the Dominican Republic, but also from Jamaica. In recent years, this cultural mix has made the Bronx a wellspring of both Latin music and hip hop.
The Bronx contains one of the five poorest Congressional Districts in the U.S., (the 16th), but its wide variety of neighborhoods also includes the affluent Riverdale and Country Club.[9][10] The Bronx, particularly the South Bronx, saw a sharp decline in population, livable housing, and the quality of life in the late 1960s and the 1970s, culminating in a wave of arson, but has shown some signs of revival in recent years
Revolutionary who diverted US flight to Havana lives quiet life

5. SOUNDBITE: (English) William Potts, US Fugitive:
I could never even conceive of going back home under the Republican administrations, or how the world was, how the United States was, pre-Obama. It just wasn't in the cards. Now it looks as though if there's a time to play the cards, it's this time. So I've asked him for a Presidential pardon. Taking into consideration the circumstances of the case, the fact that I've served a sentence, a long sentence, in a famous Cuban prison.

8. SOUNDBITE: (English) William Potts, US Fugitive:
We have hopes here. We just want normalised relationships. If you can have normalised relationships with people who are pointing nuclear warheads at you, and some even have 'most favourable nation' status, why is it you don't want us to live? Why cant we live? We're socialists, communists, who gives a damn?
9. Pan left Potts entering his apartment building
STORYLINE
William Potts calls himself the Homesick Hijacker, but US authorities have another name for him: fugitive harboured by an enemy government.
Almost 25 years ago, the native of Mount Vernon, New York, just outside the Bronx, was a Black Power revolutionary who hid a .25-calibre pistol in a metal arm brace and diverted a US commercial flight to Havana.
He spent 13 and a half years in a Cuban prison for air piracy, but has lived quietly here ever since.
Now he wants to come home and is hoping Barack Obama's new administration and improved US-Cuba relations could allow him to do so a free man.
He has written the president-elect seeking a pardon, arguing that time served behind Cuban bars should count in America.
I was young and crazy. (...) For me it was an imperative at the time, Potts, now 52, said during an interview in a park near his apartment in Alamar, a scruffy, ocean-front enclave on Havana's eastern outskirts.
The US State Department says there are more than 70 American fugitives in Cuba, where authorities have allowed them to stay as political refugees.
Most are black separatists from the 1960s, or militants accused of bombings in support of independence for Puerto Rico. Like Potts, many got to this country aboard hijacked flights.
The US State Department lists Cuba as a state sponsor of terrorism, in part because of those fugitives. But in 2006, the Cuban government said it would no longer provide safe haven to newly arrived US fugitives and, since then, authorities have returned four wanted Americans who recently fled to the island.
So far, none of the US fugitives living in Cuba for decades have been sent home.
But Obama is interested in direct negotiations with Cuban President Raul Castro, who recently proposed a prisoner swap, pledging to release some of the more than 200 Cuban political prisoners held in this country if authorities free five Cuban spies imprisoned in the US.
If such a deal were to go through, an exchange involving US fugitives on the island might not be out of the question - and that worries Potts.
But change could be bad for other American fugitives in Cuba, like Charlie Hill, who is accused of slaying a New Mexico state trooper before hijacking his own flight to Cuba in 1971.
Shakur is in Cuba but went into hiding years ago. The FBI has offered a 1 million US dollar reward for her capture.

Hudson River and New York Rockefeller lookout
Nice view of Hudson River and New York state ( cities names) from Rockefeller lookout on Palisades Interstate Parkway Englewood Cliffs. Great view of the Bronx and North Manhattan.
September 27, 1909: N.Y. Governor Charles Evans Hughes with George Perkins at the dedication of the Palisades Interstate Park at Alpine Boat Basin.
Now a public garden and cultural center, Wave Hill, with its sweeping views of the Palisades, was a summer home to the family of future United States President Theodore Roosevelt and later to author Mark Twain.
In 1900, when he was governor of New York, Roosevelt signed legislation that permitted his state to join with New Jersey to form the Palisades Interstate Park Commission-preserving the world famous view he came to know as a boy.
In 1903, George W. Perkins made his home at Wave Hill, Perkins was a leader in the fight to preserve the Palisades and served as president of the Palisades Interstate Park Commission until his death in 1920. Perkins Memorial Tower at Bear Mountain was named for him.
On the river near this spot in September 1609, the Dutch sailing vessel Half Moon met and traded with native tribes. Though they never found the Northwest Passage to the Pacific that they were looking for, the crew brought home reports of a rich and fertile river valley-populated by tribes willing to trade valuable furs for European goods. The river was later named for the ship's captain, Henry Hudson.

Mayor de Blasio Announces NYC Municipal ID to Give Access to 33 City Cultural Institutions
Announces NYC Municipal ID to Give Access to 1-Year Free Memberships at 33 of the City's Most Acclaimed Cultural Institutions
See full list of CIG benefits here:
With the Municipal ID card, thousands of residents will be able to receive free benefits at members of the Cultural Institutions Group throughout 2015
Today, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced that the City’s Municipal ID, which will launch in January 2015, will give all ID card holders access to one-year free membership packages at 33 of the City’s leading cultural institutions, including world class museums, performing arts centers, concert halls, botanical gardens, and zoos in all five boroughs. The Municipal ID/CIG one-year membership will be comparable to each institution’s standard one-year individual or family membership package, depending on the institution, and will give ID card holders a range of benefits including free admission, and access to special events, and discounts to museum shops.
The 33 institutions belong to the Cultural Institutions Group (CIG) which is comprised of private nonprofit cultural organizations located on City owned property. The first member of the CIG, the American Museum of Natural History, was created in 1869 and the group has grown to include a diverse cross section of institutions in each of the boroughs. The City provides capital, operating and energy support to CIG members and in turn each institution is charged with providing access to cultural services and programming to all New Yorkers.
The offer will be available to all Municipal ID holders from the day the program is launched in January 2015 through December 31, 2015. The membership term will be for one-year from the date the individual signs up with a participating cultural institution. The framework for the CIG membership deal came together with the support of City Council after Cultural Affairs Commissioner Tom Finkelpearl was appointed earlier this year. As a former director of a CIG institution, Commissioner Finkelpearl was able work closely with CIG chair Arnold Lehman and the organizations’ leadership in finding a creative and compelling strategy for CIG member institutions to open their doors even further to all New Yorkers. The package of benefits the CIG has developed demonstrates the central role these institutions play in New York’s civic life.
The 33 participating institutions are listed below by borough:
Bronx
1. Bronx County Historical Society
2. Bronx Museum of the Arts
3. New York Botanical Garden

New York is the most populous city in the United States and the center of the New York Metropolitan Area, one of the most populous metropolitan areas in the world. New York exerts a significant impact upon global commerce, finance, media, art, fashion, research, technology, education, and entertainment. As the home of the United Nations Headquarters, it is an important center for international affairs and is widely deemed the cultural capital of the world. The city is also referred to as New York City or the City of New York to distinguish it from the state of New York, of which it is a part.
Located on a large natural harbor on the Atlantic coast of the Northeastern United States, New York City consists of five boroughs: The Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island. With a 2010 United States Census population of 8,175,133 distributed over a land area of just 305 square miles (790 km2), New York is the most densely populated major city in the United States. As many as 800 languages are spoken in New York, making it the most linguistically diverse city in the world. The New York City Metropolitan Area's population is the United States' largest, estimated at 18.9 million people distributed over 6,720 square miles (17,400 km2), and is also part of the most populous combined statistical area in the United States, containing 22.2 million people as of 2009 Census estimates.
New York traces its roots to its 1624 founding as a trading post by Dutch colonists and was named New Amsterdam in 1626. The city and its surrounds came under English control in 1664 and were renamed New York after King Charles II of England granted the lands to his brother, the Duke of York. New York served as the capital of the United States from 1785 until 1790. It has been the country's largest city since 1790. The Statue of Liberty greeted millions of immigrants as they came to America by ship in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Many districts and landmarks in New York City have become well known to outsiders. Times Square, iconified as The Crossroads of the World, is the brightly illuminated hub of the Broadway theater district, one of the world's busiest pedestrian intersections, and a major center of the world's entertainment industry.
The city hosts many world renowned bridges, skyscrapers, and parks. New York City's financial district, anchored by Wall Street in Lower Manhattan, functions as the financial capital of the world and is home to the New York Stock Exchange, the world's largest stock exchange by total market capitalization of its listed companies. Manhattan's real estate market is among the most prized and expensive in the world.
Manhattan's Chinatown incorporates the highest concentration of Chinese people in the Western Hemisphere.
Unlike most global rapid transit systems, the New York City Subway is designed to provide 24/7service. Numerous colleges and universities are located in New York, including Columbia University, New York University, and Rockefeller University, which are ranked among the top 100 in the world.
The Big Apple is a nickname for New York City. It was first popularized in the 1920s by John J. Fitz Gerald, a sports writer for the New York Morning Telegraph. Its popularity since the 1970s is due to a promotional campaign by the New York Convention and Visitors Bureau, known now as NYC & Company.

Midtown Manhattan, or simply Midtown, is an area of Manhattan, New York City home to world-famous commercial zones such as Rockefeller Center, Broadway, and Times Square. Midtown Manhattan is home to the city's tallest and most famous buildings such as the Empire State Building and Chrysler Building.
Midtown, along with Uptown and Downtown, is one of the three major subdivisions of Manhattan (though Uptown and Downtown can also be used as adjectives or adverbs, and can take on completely different meanings in the other boroughs, whereas the term Midtown cannot) and can be understood as those parts of Manhattan in neither of these two other regions - that is, all areas between 14th Street and 59th Street, from the Hudson River to the East River, about five square miles or 12 km2. The core of Midtown Manhattan is from about 31st Street to 59th Street between Third and Ninth avenues, about two square miles (this is the area most commonly referred to as Midtown.) The Plaza District, a term used by Manhattan real estate professionals to denote the most expensive area of midtown from a commercial real estate perspective, lies between 42nd Street and 59th Street, from Third Avenue to Seventh Avenue, about a square kilometer or half a square mile.
As New York's largest central business district, Midtown Manhattan is indisputably the busiest single commercial district in the United States, and among the most intensely and diversely used pieces of real estate in the world. The great majority of New York City's skyscrapers, including its tallest hotels and apartment towers, lie within Midtown. More than 700,000 commuters work in its offices, hotels, and retail establishments; the area also hosts many tourists, visiting residents, and students. Some areas, especially Times Square and Fifth Avenue, have massive clusters of retail establishments. Sixth Avenue in Midtown holds the headquarters of three of the four major television networks, and is one of a few global centers of news and entertainment. It is also a growing center of finance, second in importance within the United States only to Downtown Manhattan's Financial District. Times Square is also the epicenter of American theater.
Road congestion is perennial, especially for crosstown traffic. In 2011 a new system of traffic light control, known as Midtown in Motion was announced.
Midtown encompasses many neighborhoods including Hell's Kitchen and Chelsea on the West Side, and Murray Hill, Kips Bay, Turtle Bay, and Gramercy on the East Side. It is also sometimes broken into Midtown East and Midtown West, or north and south as in the New York City Police Department's Midtown North and Midtown South precincts. A simplistic and by no means comprehensive list of the neighborhoods in the Midtown area is as follows:
Between 59th Street to the north and 42nd Street to the south, from west to east:
Hell's Kitchen from the Hudson River to 8th Avenue, including
Theatre Row on West 42nd Street between 11th Avenue and 9th Avenue.
where Hell's Kitchen meets Central Park and the Upper West Side at West 59th Street and 8th Avenue, Columbus Circle
Times Square and the Theatre District from West 42nd Street to around West 53rd Street (according to some until Central Park at Central Park South/59th Street), and from 8th Avenue to Sixth Avenue
The Diamond District on West 47th Street between 6th Avenue and 5th Avenue
Midtown East from around 6th Avenue to the East River, including (going from west to east, and north to south):
Sutton Place near the East River between East 53rd Street and East 59th Street

On the afternoon of June 18 2018 a notably oppressive hazy, hot, and humid airmass set up over portions of the Hudson Valley region of New York. Already at 2 PM EST, temperatures had already risen into the low to mid 90's in the area around Albany making today the hottest day of the year, and many areas in the Capital Region are expected to tie or set new record high temperatures. At peak heating, heat indices are expected to rise into the triple digits in many areas, thanks to unseasonable levels of humidity. Residents in Albany tried to beat the heat by flocking to shady parks, bathing in fountains, and lining up for frozen treats.

Driving Downtown Neighborhoods - Little Italy - Bronx New York City NY USA - Episode 8.
Starting Point: Arthur Avenue - .
Arthur Avenue is a street in the Belmont section of the Bronx, New York City's northernmost borough. It was once the heart of the Bronx's Little Italy. Little Italy generally refers to Arthur Avenue and East 187th Street.[1] Although the historical and commercial center of Little Italy is Arthur Avenue itself, the area stretches across East 187th Street from Arthur Avenue to Prospect Avenue, and is similarly lined with delis, bakeries, cafes and various Italian merchants. Unlike the ''Little Italy'' neighborhood in Manhattan, which has become a major tourist destination, the Bronx's ''Little Italy'' is considered ''The real Little Italy'' due to its Italian immigrant heritage which dates back to the 1950s.
The Bronx is the northernmost of the five boroughs of New York City, within the U.S. state of New York.
The Bronx contains one of the five poorest Congressional Districts in the United States, the 15th, but its wide diversity also includes affluent, upper-income and middle-income neighborhoods such as Riverdale, Fieldston, Spuyten Duyvil, Schuylerville, Pelham Bay, Pelham Gardens, Morris Park and Country Club.[10][11] The Bronx, particularly the South Bronx, saw a sharp decline in population, livable housing, and the quality of life in the late 1960s and the 1970s, culminating in a wave of arson. Since then the communities have shown significant redevelopment starting in the late 1980s before picking up pace from the 1990s until today.
About a quarter of the Bronx's area is open space,[5] including Woodlawn Cemetery, Van Cortlandt Park, Pelham Bay Park, the New York Botanical Garden and the Bronx Zoo in the borough's north and center. These open spaces are situated primarily on land deliberately reserved in the late 19th century as urban development progressed north and east from Manhattan.
The name Bronx originated with Jonas Bronck, who established the first settlement in the area as part of the New Netherland colony in 1639.[6][7][8] The native Lenape were displaced after 1643 by settlers. In the 19th and 20th centuries, the Bronx received many immigrant groups as it was transformed into an urban community, first from various European countries (particularly Ireland, Germany and Italy) and later from the Caribbean region (particularly Puerto Rico, Jamaica and the Dominican Republic), as well as African American migrants from the southern United States.[9] This cultural mix has made the Bronx a wellspring of both Latin music and hip hop.
Revitalization
In 1997, the Bronx was designated an All America City by the National Civic League, acknowledging its comeback from the decline of the mid-century.[65] In 2006, The New York Times reported that construction cranes have become the borough's new visual metaphor, replacing the window decals of the 1980s in which pictures of potted plants and drawn curtains were placed in the windows of abandoned buildings.[66] The borough has experienced substantial new building construction since 2002. Between 2002 and June 2007, 33,687 new units of housing were built or were under way and $4.8 billion has been invested in new housing. In the first six months of 2007 alone total investment in new residential development was $965 million and 5,187 residential units were scheduled to be completed. Much of the new development is springing up in formerly vacant lots across the South Bronx.[67]
Sports
The Bronx is the home of the New York Yankees of Major League Baseball.

What is the Future of Golf in Cities Around the World...
Erik Anders Lang visits the two biggest cities in the United States (New York City and Los Angeles) to explore the state of golf in urban areas and what it may look like in the future.
In Erik's show 'Adventures In Golf,' Urban Golf meant playing in the streets of Portland, OR with a tennis ball and clubs from a thrift shop. Only a few years later, Erik witnesses the rise of simulators, how school kids in Harlem play after class, and how traditional golf is evolving for the future in terms of land use and the impact it has on community.
This theme of the ever-changing face of golf and how different populations around the world will continue to enjoy the game always deserves thought and we will continue to explore.

Walking in Heavy Thunderstorm at Night in NYC (Umbrella Binaural 3D Rain Sounds) ASMR 4K
Flash flood and severe thunderstorm warning in New York the other night so I knew I had to go out and make a video. Binaural rain and umbrella ambience sounds while walking in thunderstorm in New York City. Best if listened to with headphones for a completely immersive surround sound experience. Walking takes place in Manhattan, NYC and includes some of walking in Times Square. There are some moments of insane downpour rainfall and other moments of light rain mixed with the sounds of New York City traffic and city noises. There wasn't a planned destination. This was just walking aimlessly through the big city. Sounds good for entertainment. I really wish I had my camera with me at the time. Would have been awesome. I hope you like my video. Enjoy!
