The best neighborhood in the Bronx. Is NY's official Irish neighborhood. Right by the train to Yankee Stadium and Manhattan. The coolest place ever. Has the pride of the Bronx and the safeness and quiet of the suburbs. Peace.
Woodlawn is bounded by the city of Yonkers, the Bronx River Parkway, 233 St, and Van Cortlandt Park.

Well the definition depends on
(a) whether you see the city and its surrounding area as one unit, and small towns and rural areas as another, OR
(b) whether you see the city, the surrounding area, and the countryside as three separate entities.

A cool borough, but the Bronx is still better because
1) The Bronx has City Island.
2) We have a zoo and a botanical garden.
3) The Manhattan numbering system continues into the Bronx, and unlike Brooklyn, we don't have 5 different confusing numbering systems at the same time.
4) The Bronx is one-quarter park space. Take that, Prospect Park!
5) The Bronx has more waterfront area.
6) The Bronx (Hunts Point) is the birthplace of hip hop. Amusingly the Bronx is also home to places that are so much the opposite of that, like Riverdale.
7) You actually can picture where you are in the Bronx, unlike Brooklyn which has that back-end feel to it.

I was walking in Brooklyn on 86th Street then all of a sudden it was East 59th Avenue and then that intersected with Bayridge 781st Boulevard. How confusing.
