Why We Love This Unique Experience
New York City Experience Gifts: Coined by the former Bronx Borough President in 2014, the aptly named 'New Bronx' is a newly expanded area of New York City that is the culmination of many land-use rule changes and developments from the early 2010s. In this two hour tour, join a local guide as you gain an insiders perspective into the New Bronx neighbourhood, and explore how these changes have affected the local residents and businesses in the community. As well as examining the past and the present, through your guides in depth knowledge of the area, you will look to the future to discuss further potential changes to the landscape.
An intriguing tour for tourists and locals alike, the New Bronx walking tour is a fascinating insight into the developments within New York City's boroughs.

Experience Overview:
The New Bronx Guided Walking TourSignature Tour: The phrase was coined by former Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. during his 2014 state of the borough speech.
On this tour we will review The New Bronx versus The Old Bronx. During Covid-19 all construction projects continued in New York. We will examine the pros and cons, the economic inequality and social impact, the affordability and opportunities for the local community. Many land-use rule changes approved since 2009 enabled development to expand in The Bronx, allowing developers to build bigger. These changes by developers and investors (as in Williamsburg and Dumbo) have been daunting for the local residents and businesses. Let’s explore some of the new buildings coming up in the South Bronx and the potential changes to the landscape.
