Booktalking "The Bronx" by Lloyd Ultan
The Bronx: the Ultimate Guide to New York City's Beautiful Borough unearths the gems of the Bronx: The Bronx Zoo, the New York Botanical Gardens, Pelham Bay Park and Van Cortlandt Park, and Edgar Allan Poe Cottage, just a few of the attractions that the Bronx offers. We also have many museums, including the New York Yankees Museum and a few independent live theatres.
The Bronx Zoo features many exotic animals. It is vital for city kids to have an opportunity to see wildlife in person. The New York Botanical Gardens features many beautiful flowers and plants, and it is located on expansive, beautiful grounds.
Pelham Bay Park is the largest park in the five boroughs. It is near Orchard Beach and City Island, which are quite scenic. Both Pelham Bay Park and Van Cortlandt Park have riding stables located within.
Edgar Allan Poe Cottage is located near Fordham Road and the Grand Concourse. Come to the Bronx Library Center to see the Edgar Allan Poe collection on the fourth floor.
These attractions and more are featured in this book, which showcases vibrant photography. This lovely travel book showcases the best of the Bronx in terms of recreation as well as lodging information.
