Actually Riverdale, Mount Vernon, New Rochelle, Yonkers, etc are all known as the inner ring suburbs.
Also Batmon, why would they call your area Morris Park? Morris Park is at the end of the 6 line?! Doesn't make sense.
They show the Stadium and then show my local park w/ the words Morris Park. Maybe I read it wrong. Maybe they just showed they stadium for watchers to know theyre in The Bronx and then cut to a park uptown from me which i mistakened for my hood. I remember being .
I can't watch youtube at work but here's some info from Lloyd Ultan's "Encyclopedia of New York City" "Morris Park in the Bronx is a residential, working class Italian-American neighborhood. It is the site of both Jacobi Medical Center and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. It is known among New Yorkers for its pizza, arguably having some of the best pizza in the five boroughs. It has a few excellent restaurants and bakeries.
Morris Park's boundaries are Pelham Parkway to the north, the shared Metro-North/Amtrak railroad tracks to the east and south and the Bronx River to the west, taking in the smaller neighborhoods of Van Nest and Indian Village. While Indian Village is relatively affluent, Van Nest, on the opposite corner of Morris Park, is the lower end of the income strata, bordering West Farms/East Tremont section of the South Bronx. The neighborhood is served by the Morris Park station on the IRT Dyre Avenue Line (5) and the Bx8 and Bx21 local bus lines, as well as the BxM10 Express Bus to Manhattan."

Only Riverdale is within NYC, though; the rest fit comfortably within the accepted definition of a suburb.
I recently bought a coop in riverdale (spuyten duyvil actually), but have yet to run into Archie & Jughead or the Corleone house. Yes it's not technically a suburb because it is within NYC borders, but visually it does have the whole "houses with yards and driveways" thing going on. Although if that makes a suburb, than Forest Hills and Bayside in Queens and I'm sure many other places would also have to be included. I guess Riverdale does have the edge that the residents are in denial of the fact that they're in the Bronx.
But in general, when people refer to "suburbs of NYC" they mean Jersey, Long Island, Rockland County, Westchester, and Connecticut.

True.
Yonkers & New Ro are the 'burbs. And to real heads any thing north of Fordham Road is the 'burbs.
Also Batmon, why would they call your area Morris Park? Morris Park is at the end of the 6 line?! Doesn't make sense.
They filmed in Mullay's Park. You know Garcia Vega where the skateboard park and public pool is. Across the street from where they're building the new Stadium. Mo fuckas are doofy.

any truth?
On June 15, 2005, the Yankees announced their plans for a new 50,800-54,000 seat stadium, with a planned completion in 2009. Approval from the state legislature and the city council is necessary. The state would contribute about $70 million to increase parking from 7,000 spaces to 11,000, and the city would replace the lost parkland as part of the deal. A new commuter train station and expanded ferry terminal also are part of the plan. There is also a plan to build a high school for sports careers across the street from the new stadium.

We'll see.
ahhh ok. so there goes the park. i heard that they were going to change the old stadium into a Little League field. that would be amazing seeing as kids could play on the same field their idols played on. i think.....

Yeah, but kids in the neighborhood dont play baseball/softball anymore. So I dont know who theyre targeting. Suburban/North Bronx kids? Dominician kids across the water in Washington Heights? Its a cool idea but not realistic. Kids are not trying to be Derek Jeter around here.

Washington Heights kids. but when that neighborhood turns into all white people, theyll turn the park into a dogwalking park.

well i actually meant the gentrification of the Heights. i used to have a friend on 162nd and Ft. Washington and they would close the streets down to non-residents because of the drug traffic. i was there about a month ago and witnessed so many white people it reminded me of Brooklyn in a way.....
but yea. i saw an advertisement for lofts in the South Bronx. they were described as up and coming "artist" lofts a short distance from NYC.
the Bronx was all originally part of Westchester so that could be why certain neigborhoods consider themselves to be "suburbs." However, when it comes time for property tax assessments I'm sure they are all willing to admit they are part of the Bronx.

i hear you on that one. no one wants those Westchester taxes. my uncle pays out the ass in Eastchester.

Riverdale is within The Bronx,but the residents have historically viewed themselved as separate from The Bronx.
Only Riverdale is within NYC, though; the rest fit comfortably within the accepted definition of a suburb.

Haha... actually some white people in Spanish Harlem will try to say they live on the Upper East Side.
Then I know Black folks that live in Washington Heights who try to say they live in Harlem.
No doubt. Spanish Harlem is on its last legs. Its gonna be like Little Italy - one block.

That's Pelham...
I always thought that Batmon's neighborhood was called Morrisania but that may be further up, towards the 180s.

I stand corrected, Morris Park is a stop on the 5 train.
I also think you're right about Morrisania, at least that's what the hospital around there is called.

It would be strange, though, to call a place like Paterson a suburb.
