I drove through The South Bronx, the WORST part of New York City

Wow! The South Bronx in New York City is ROUGH!

For this episode of dashboard tours, I took New York Route 9A from Connecticut into downtown New York City. The plan was to find the worst neighborhood in New York City. If you’d ask any New Yorker, they would tell you if you want to see the bad side of the Big Apple you have to go to the South Bronx. So that’s what I did. It was a Wednesday, March 24, 2021 at about 10 am.

Now the South Bronx USED to be a terrible place for crime, drugs and poverty. It still IS that, but it’s nothing like it was in the 70s and 80s. Gentrification has moved in, and this place isn’t the same as it once was. This part of town - places like Mott Haven and Hunts Point were once written off by renters and developers, but this part of New York City is the new focus for modernization.

I found it to the overwhelmingly full of life and there are still signs of a time when this part of town was the poster child for urban blight. It’s an interesting mix of old inner city urban hardscrabble life and modernization. The route we’ll take will wind through the main streets of this part of the South Bronx and take us through some surrounding neighborhoods as well. Here’s the exact route we’ll take.

Here’s the rest of the South Bronx, the worst part of New York City.
