Description:

Discover the vibrant art, culture, and history of the South Bronx on this walk through the dynamic neighborhood. Learn the stories of its wealthy aristocrats and immigrant communities, the area's decline, and the revival that turned the borough into one of New York's hottest cultural centers.

Begin by exploring the graffiti and street art that emerged as the Bronx became the center of early hip-hop culture. Next, stroll by the Bronx Museum, famous for its collection of contemporary art from local and international artists. Gaze up at New York's largest collection of residential Art Deco buildings lining the area's main thoroughfare, the 5-mile-long (8-km) Grand Concourse.

During your walk, take a look up to see the names of famous residents immortalized with plaques along the Bronx Walk of Fame. See the names of Bronx-born celebrities like groundbreaking hip-hop artists Swizz Beats, Grandmaster Caz, and Afrika Bambaataa, as well as former Secretary of State Colin Powell and astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson.

Stop for a photo opportunity in front of the world-famous Yankee Stadium before your tour comes to an end.
