Orchids!
by Simone ·
New Yorkers know Spring is just around the corner when The Bronx Botanical Garden begins its annual Orchid Show. You’ve got until April 12th to get on over; below are a few snaps to get you in the mood.
Yeah, you heard me! Oh the joy! I’ve worshipped these guys since Sunday, Bloody Sunday! Hell, since War…since Boy…since October!!! (Ok, calm down, Bono-freak…)
How We Roll In The Bronx
Cost of tickets: Nothing!
Bill to have your sorry drunken ass hauled off on a stretcher at 7:00 am: Zilch!
Having the GREATEST BAND ON THE PLANET bring some First Class publicity to this borough: F-ing PRICELESS!!!
P.S. Check out The Boogiedowner’s up-close and humorous take on things (including the drunken fist-pumping chick being hauled away on said stretcher) and fabulous full day coverage!

NEW YORK SPORTS CLUB COMES TO THE BRONX - Parkchester
Readers will now be aware of the fact that even though I have lived in the Bronx for almost two years, it wasn’t until I started TheBronxRocks that I learned of many of the great attractions this borough has to offer. I’ve discovered restaurants just blocks away that I never knew existed and now I have to clue you into yet another TREAT I came across just two weeks ago. New York Sports Club!!!! (Behind Sizzler on Bronxdale Avenue). $69.95 per month will give you access to this brand nearly spanking new club (only 1 year old) with a pool, sauna, smoothie bar, lounge, babysitting service and several studios for classes and world class equipment (including cardio machines that come with their own personal TV screens!). The times that I have been there, the place has never been crowded and I’ve never had to wait for anything (not so at the clubs in Manhattan).
See you in Spin Class!
