The Bronx

Northernmost NYC borough

The Bronx is a borough of New York City, the only one attached to the mainland United States.

It takes the definite article—always the Bronx, never just Bronx.

The borough is associated with hip-hop culture, Yankee Stadium, and working-class neighborhoods, though it encompasses diverse communities from the South Bronx to the affluent Riverdale.
