THE BRONX
Where Hip Hop Was Born
About The Bronx
The Bronx is the birthplace of Hip Hop, home to Yankee Stadium, and one of the most culturally rich boroughs in New York City. From the Grand Concourse's Art Deco architecture to Arthur Avenue's legendary Italian food, the Bronx is where authenticity lives.
For X-CURSIONS IN MOTION, the Bronx is where real culture happens — from private dining experiences like Ocho Platos to discovering hidden gems that most visitors never see.
