Définir (Con)cours pour le Bronx
Publié 04/26/2022
Le South Bronx est bien connu pour être le domicile du Yankee Stadium. Allez y assister à un match de baseball ou de football, suivi d’un débriefing dans un bar à proximité, mais il abrite également le Grand Concourse, une artère pleine d’architecture art déco saisissante, d’espaces de parc, d’un musée d’art et d’excellents endroits pour manger un morceau.
