Concourse Cilantro

In the late 19th century, Louis Aloys Risse designed the Grand Concourse, drawing inspiration from Paris' Champs-Élysées. This iconic thoroughfare symbolized grandeur and connected the Bronx to Manhattan. Over time, the Concourse area experienced substantial development, evolving into a sought-after residential district that attracted a diverse population. The landscape flourished with Art Deco-style apartment buildings, reflecting the architectural sophistication of the era. Noteworthy landmarks like Yankee Stadium, the renowned home of the New York Yankees, added to the area's charm. Concourse emerged as a cultural epicenter with attractions such as the Bronx Museum of the Arts, featuring contemporary art, and the Andrew Freedman Home, a former luxury retirement residence transformed into an arts and culture hub. The introduction of the subway line in 1904 spurred a rapid population increase, drawing middle-class families seeking urban living with suburban qualities. During the early to mid-20th century, Concourse was celebrated for its elegant Art Deco buildings, serene parks, and cultural institutions like the Bronx Museum of the Arts and the Bronx County Courthouse.
