Botanical garden with diverse flora, seasonal exhibits, and art installations



























"I visited the New York Botanical Garden and experienced a dazzling, nightmare-inducing display celebrating Tim Burton’s iconic The Nightmare Before Christmas; the outdoor trail is an immersive ode to the 1993 Disney movie, featuring video projections, music, and scenes complete with beloved characters like Jack S." - Katie Nadworny Katie Nadworny Katie Nadworny is an Istanbul-based writer who specializes in stories at the intersection of culture and politics in Turkey, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East.

"This tiny Bronx grocery on Arthur Ave. specializes in stretchy mozzarella and other pasta filata cheeses. The classic Casa keeps things simple with prosciutto, sun-dried peppers, and balsamic, which really lets that fresh cheese shine. If you don’t want to hike to (or pay for) the Bronx Zoo or Botanical Garden, Ciccarone Park is just a block away—and it has a bocce ball court." - willa moore, will hartman, bryan kim, sonal shah

"Though not a museum, the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx holds my heart—my son had his first outing there as a newborn, we spend holidays there, and my own small garden was inspired by its gardens; they’re like no other in the world." - Edward Barsamian

"When I want to engage in a bit more information on the greens I’m observing, I head here." - Edward Barsamian
"In the spirit of sincerity, take someone on a cheesy, romantic date to Orchid Evenings at the New York Botanical Gardens, which starts this Saturday and continues through April. Your ticket includes entry to this year's Orchid Show, a truly gorgeous installation of thousands of orchids transformed into a kaleidoscope of colors. (Ooh la la, and all that.) The Garden is teaming up with Bronx Night Market to bring you some of the Bronx’s finest food vendors and signature cocktails at the bar, and, on Saturdays, you can also have dinner on site at the Hudson Garden Grill. You can buy your tickets and select a time to see the Orchid Show here." - neha talreja
