North New York

You may never hear this Bronx neighborhood referred to as North New York – because now it’s called Mott Haven. On a map, it looks as if they are two separate but small neighborhoods, but apparently maps are the only resources that still know of the neighborhood’s now defunct existence. In any case, Mott Haven is a low income neighborhood in the Bronx that has had its fair share of recent problems that include crime and drugs. More than half of the population lives below the poverty line here, which isn’t exactly the ideal kind of place for a tourist, or for a potential resident without an incredibly stringent budget.
