100 Things to do in the Bronx in 2022

Hello 2022! We know it’s been a while since we’ve put together one of our infamous Things to do in the Bronx lists, so to kick off the new year we figured it was time. We’ve been through so much in the past two years, and unfortunately we are still navigating our way through it. But the Bronx is resilient and we know we will get through this together. In the meantime we can continue to support our local businesses as safely as possible, get outside and enjoy all of the beauty our borough has to offer, and make new memories this year.
