Neighborhoods In The Bronx
This article features a list of neighborhoods in the Bronx, one of five boroughs of New York City.
When using this article, note that names of many (but not all) neighborhoods in the Bronx are popular based on their historical pedigree and the livability factor. However, this is not true for all neighborhoods in the Bronx; while someone living at East 213th Street & White Plains Road might prefer to describe their location simply as "Gun Hill Road" (a nearby thoroughfare) rather than "Williamsbridge", Riverdale, Throgs Neck, and others have greater popularity. Riverdale known for its aristocracy (John F. Kennedy resided there once), large mansions, and amenities (subway and commuter rails and views of the Hudson River) and Throggs Neck which has a bridge named after it and its waterfront beach communities located on the Long Island Sound account for their popularity respectively.

Famous quotes containing the word bronx:
“who chained themselves to subways for the endless ride from Battery
to holy Bronx on benzedrine until the noise of wheels and children
brought them down shuddering mouth-wracked and battered bleak of brain and drained of brilliance in the drear light of Zoo,”
—Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)
