Hello how’s it going today. This is Engin from New York City. Hope you’re all doing well. Today I’m going to have another road trip in New York City and drive to the south of the Bronx and hit famous Grand Concourse. I’m planning to drive from the southern tip of the street close to Maj Deegan Highway all the way to the north of the Grand Concourse where it crosses Mosholu Parkway.
The Grand Concourse is a 5.2-mile-long (8.4 km) thoroughfare in the borough of the Bronx in New York City.
Grand Concourse runs through several neighborhoods,
For most of its length, the Concourse is 180 feet (55 m) wide, though portions of the Concourse are narrower. The Grand Concourse was designed by Louis Aloys Risse, an immigrant from Saint-Avold, Lorraine, France. Concourse was built between 1894 and 1909.
The development of the Concourse led to the construction of apartment buildings surrounding the boulevard, and by 1939 it was called “the Park Avenue of middle-class Bronx residents”.
And again…The reason why I’m doing this kind of road trip videos in New York City is a good opportunity for those who are not able to see New York City’s back neighborhoods. Especially when you come here as a tourist you probably will not have that much time to visit every neighborhoods as you will prefer to spend most of your time to see more important things in Manhattan and around. And yet I’m doingThis kind of videos for you to see and observe what the ordinary people are up to in a regular day.
I hope you will enjoy the video! Please do not forget to subscribe to my channel and definitely smash that like button. Please leave a comment what other neighborhoods you would like to see in New York City.
See you in the next videos and take care.
Peace!
