The Bronx begs to differ.Community leaders are objecting to the South Bronx "Underbelly Tour" that raises money for the Guardian Angels crime-prevention network. It focuses on the rough-and-tumble 1970s and lingering crime problems.
The Bronx Tourism Council recommends the Bronx Zoo, New York Botanical Garden, Yankee Stadium, museums and restaurants. Community Board 2 suggests visitors meet residents involved in their borough’s transformation.
Founder Curtis Sliwa says he’s open to partnering with community leaders.
Sliwa, who’s also a radio host, concedes the area has improved dramatically. But he’s said visitors can still "get a flavor of what it was like."
