Things to Do in the Bronx via a Bus Rental in NYC

FILED UNDER: General Bus Rentals NYC Tips and Tricks

 

 

 

The Bronx is located north of Queens and Manhattan. It is home to more than 1.4 million people and is the third most densely populated county in the whole country. So why not get on a bus rental in NYC today?

 

A bus rental in NYC can help ensure that you get to see as much of a place as you would want. It is perfect for tourists who want to experience New York City conveniently and comfortably.

 

 

Custom Coach and Limo would like to suggest these things for you and your group to do:

 

Escape from it all at Wave Hill

 

Wave Hill is a great expanse of green and a great cultural center spanning 28 acres and is currently open to the public.

 

Wave Hill used to be the playground of Manhattan millionaires who wanted to live in an area with the beautiful views of the Hudson. Now majestic oak and beech trees line the gardens, while people rest of curving paths.

 

You can also enjoy concerts during Sundays, art exhibits and workshops on gardening here at the Glyndor House and the Wave Hill House.

Play at Haffen Park

 

Haffen Park does not get too much media attention, making it one of the Bronx's biggest secret.

 

Haffen Park has baseball fields, basketball courts, fitness paths, playgrounds, recreation centers, tennis courts, handball, spray showers, pools, and water fountains, so there is something for everyone to do.

Go on an Italian food trip on Arthur Avenue

 

If you want a grand Little Italy experience, skip Manhattan's Little Italy altogether. All you could see there are second rate restaurants. Instead go to the Bronx with its real community of Italian Americans.

 

Eat Italian food to your heart's content here, where you can also buy meat, cheese and bread. Everything here is prepared fresh and by hand.

Watch a game at the Yankee Stadium

 

Although there are still who wish that they could still see the games at the old Yankee Stadium, the new one is quite a treat. Tickets are expectedly expensive, but you will have a grand experience with watching a baseball game here.

 

You can also get a mini museum tour by looking at the pictures of former Yankee notables that adorn the walls.

 

You should also visit the Monument Park where they are showcasing the plaques and awards that former team members got.

Unwind at the New York Botanical Garden

 

If you love plants and flowers, you would love New York Botanical Garden. The NYBG has more than 50 gardens and plant collections, and a lot of events happening at any time of the year.

 

On weekends you can tour the place with experts telling you about how to grow certain kinds of plants, or tips and trick that you could emulate in your own garden. These experts include the staff and visiting experts.

 

There are also guided tours daily that would have a member of the staff show you the best of their collections or you could go by a certain theme for these tours.

 

There are also seasonal bird walks for birdwatchers out there.
