Bronx Vacation Rentals

Home to the baseball team, the New York Yankees, the Bronx beguiles with its spirited performing arts scene, art galleries, nifty shopping options, and multi-cultural neighborhoods. This is America at its true eclectic best. Enjoy it with a vacation rental!

A cultural sojourn

Culture-minded travelers should definitely take a walking tour of the Bronx's Historic Districts. The so-called "real little Italy" on Arthur Avenue is lined with Italian pizzerias and family-run shops, many which fly the Italian flag. For some Irish and Celtic cheer, Woodlawn neighborhood is the place to be. Woodlawn Cemetery is also the final resting place of notable residents. Worth visiting is the Edgar Allan Poe Cottage, where the writer spent the last few years of his life, and wrote "Annabel Lee."

For contemporary urban art by local artists, head to the Bronx Museum of the Arts in the Grand Concourse neighborhood. Known for its Art Deco buildings, Grand Concourse was also where rap was born. The Hall of Fame for Great Americans is another gem that honors citizens who significantly influenced the course of American history.

Family time

Plan a family picnic at the historic New York Botanical Garden which spreads over 250 acres. Consider the fun Overnight Family Adventure Safari at the Bronx Zoo, where kids can pitch a tent, eat alfresco, and sleep under the stars to the sound of barking sea lions. Or catch the bus across the bridge to City Island, a part of the borough that seems from another world, with quaint streets and seafood restaurants.

An unmatched nightlife

The Bronx's nightlife scene attracts partygoers from throughout the Big Apple. Hip-hop, reggae, house, merengue, salsa, and reggaeton parties are plentiful. The neighborhood of Soundview is sometimes considered a sleeper hit for nightlife. You can also catch a Broadway show at the Lehman Center for the Performing Arts, or a play at Teatro Pregones, the Bronx's only Hispanic theater.
