As a student in my senior year at Fordham University, I can expect the reaction most people have when I recommend taking a tour of the Bronx. But there are many beautiful places that I think get overlooked. Fordham's campus is a great start, with its beautiful lawns, gothic architecture, and rich history. Across the street, the Bronx Zoo is an exciting escape from the city, and the Gorilla exhibit is definitely a crowd pleaser. The spectacular New York Botanical Gardens are also located across the street from the University, with amazing exhibits throughout the year and beautiful event spaces. Fordham Road is a very popular shopping district in the Bronx, and you can feel the heartbeat of the city when walking up this street. Driving a few miles down the Pelham Parkway leads you to Orchard Beach, a small 3 mile stretch of sand to enjoy in the summer. Next to Orchard Beach is City Island, a total surprise and hidden beauty, right over a short bridge. It is dotted with seafood restaurants and shops, and the beautiful docks and small cafes evoke the feeling of a town in the Cape.
