Bronx Documentary Center
The Bronx Documentary Center is a gem of a cultural institution. It is home base for Bronx photographers, journalists, documentarians a d the like. Basically it's our borough’s version of the ICP in Manhattan.
In just 4 years it had earned its reputation as an important community space with a world renowned reputation with equally renowned exhibitions and photographers.
Make sure to get on their mailing list to get updates on the slew of programming available throughout the year.
The centre has given birth to the Bronx Photo League which has given Bronx photographers a voice and a group that meets weekly on Fridays. It also has the The Bronx Junior Photo League made up of students from 6th grade through High School as they take weekly classes throughout the year in photography that are completely hands on.

Bridge Park
Super gorgeous waterfront park just underneath the High Bridge (not to be confused with High Bridge Park across in Manhattan) along the Harlem River. Work has begun in repairing the paths along the River Towers apartments to the north so it will be even better.
Although I think it's super gorgeous, I can't give it beyond 3 stars because it is a nightmare to get to especially on bike. It's actually quite hazardous with no real direct safe route and if you're a brave soul you'll bike along the Major Deegan Service Road but that's not recommended due to high traffic. Once you do make it to the park it's so serene with the exception of the occasional Metro North train zooming by. They need more work in improving access but the views are gorgeous.

La Finca del Sur
This place gets 5 stars not for its looks since it's quite unassuming and located between the Major Deegan and Metro North with the subway running underneath. It gets it for what the women who found the place did. Once a derelict, trash filled eyesore it has been transformed into an urban farm. Seeing is believing and what you can do with whatever space you can find.
Clay Avenue Historic District
Small historical district in Morrisania yet big in architecture.
