In the Bronx, visit the famous Joker movie steps and stop for photos at Yankee Stadium, home of the New York Yankees. Take a restroom and photo break before continuing.

Drive along Grand Concourse Avenue to the 42nd Precinct police station featured in 'Fort Apache.' Explore South Bronx street art, including murals dedicated to rapper Big Pun and the iconic 1970 'I Love the Bronx' mural, with stories behind each artwork shared by your guide.

Cross into Queens via the Whitestone Bridge to visit the MALBA neighborhood, once inhabited by boaters and fishermen, now known for its mansion-like homes.
