Why the Bronx is the Best
The People
If you ask anyone what they love about CHAM, almost everyone’s first response will be “the people.” This includes not only our coworkers, but our patients too.
The Scenery
Like most of NYC the Bronx is a largely urban area, but did you know that it is actually the greenest borough with approximately 22% being covered with parklands? We have the largest NYC park (Pelham Bay Park which is three time larger than Central Park) while right down the street from CHAM is Van Cortlandt Park, the 3rd largest park in NYC and a frequent hang-out for CHAM residents on a sunny weekend day. The Bronx also boasts the country’s largest botanical garden (NY Botanical Garden) which is only a 1.5 mile walk/drive from CHAM down the equally green Mosholu Parkway. As for our aquatic scenery, despite being the only NYC borough on mainland USA we also have plenty of beautiful shoreline, including the Hudson River (visible from the stunning Wave Hill Garden) and our very own Orchard Beach (complete with neighboring City Island for all your seafood needs).
So Many More Reasons…
Did you know the Bronx was the birthplace of hip hop? Boasts the largest urban zoo in the country? Home to Edgar Allan Poe? There are so many reasons CHAM is proud to call the Bronx home. Since we can’t go through all of them here, we made an interactive map filled with some of our favorite Bronx attractions, historical sites, museums, and (of course) food.
