no good office space and buildings, no museums, no nice restaurants, no nightclubs, no really good shopping, no nothing...
they just gave the bx 2 malls, a zoo, a stadium, and said look... live here
Will disagree on buildings, museums, and restaurants. Can't say much for nightclub or shopping because I've never looked for much of either up there.
The botanic garden is fantastic. The Bronx also has a few universities including the oddball SUNY Maritime College and two of the specialized high schools. It has some pretty good parks, too, and at least one fantastic cemetery. Most importantly, it has Parkchester.
they really have to come up with a plan to give it what i call "draw".
What’s considered nothing and what’s considered something?
Hipsters back when I lived in Brooklyn bragged that where they live “before there was nothing”.
Nothing that looks like them (bars with craft beer and rock music, coffee shops etc...) there were ethnic food restaurants, dive bars affordable groceries ...
The East Bronx has traditional European cafes, Jamaican restaurants, pubs, Latin fusion restaurants, Italian and Albanian restaurants, bengladeshi and Yemeni businesses and restaurants and hookah bars,and people like it.
Riverdale, Fieldston and Spuyten Duyvil are on the fancier side, like Brooklyn heights but half the price for everything, full of bars and restaurants.
Woodlawn Heights has many many places to socialize, mostly Irish though.
It’s not trendy like Harlem or Fort Greene but so what? It’s old New York.
As an adult, hipster bars or even Harlem type of bars that are the product of gentrification are not what fill up a refrigerator.

Good Mexican, West African, and delicatessen options, too.

A lot of The Bronx doesn't even have watering hole type of places, though. Kingsbridge and Woodlawn do but they're upscale for Bronx standards. I would be genuinely surprised if there were even 10 standalone bars in the entire South Bronx.
Edit: not counting the Yankee stadium area for obvious reasons

What’s your definition of the South Bronx and what’s your definition of a standalone bar? Any place that serves food doesn’t count?
And why not the Yankee stadium area? Is that not part of the South Bronx. I’d understand it if we’re discounting bars within the stadium itself that you need an event ticket to access, but the area around Yankee Stadium is accessible to people whether or not they’re going to an event.

Most places around the stadium close during the off season. Some aren't even open unless their is a game.

Well I feel like the bars are only there because of the crowds of drunk Yankee fans that support them. You're right that they're accessible regardless, but their presence is more of a unique situation.
And for bars, I wouldn't discount them as bars just for selling food, but I tend to think of places as bars if they make their money mostly by serving alcohol.
I guess I would consider anything up to the 170s and West of the Bronx River as the South Bronx.
If you know of any, I'd be happy to know for when the lockdown ends. I've been curious about this, but haven't been able to find many.
