Tapestry

  New York City's official destination marketing organization and convention and visitors bureau for the five boroughs of New York City, invites locals and visitors alike to  Bronx Like a New Yorker , by exploring the borough's many offerings. Just a train ride north of Manhattan, the Bronx offers everything from the Bronx Zoo to world-famous Yankee Stadium. Take a stroll on the Grand Concourse, or take a ferry from Manhattan to an idyllic waterfront spot called Clason Point. The Bronx is loaded with history: George Washington slept here in the 18th century, poet Edgar Allan Poe lived here in the 19th century, and hip-hop music was born here in the 20th century. The borough also has 7,000 acres of park land (about 25 percent of its total area), from glorious gardens like Wave Hill and the New York Botanical Garden to Van Cortlandt Park, famed for its cross-country running trails. A unique and lovely choice for accommodations in the Bronx is the boutique  Opera House Hotel . It&
