As the summer winds down you may start chastising yourself for not exploring New York City during your time off.

It goes without saying that each borough comes with its own set of amazing events and countless things to do.

If you haven't already, you should definitely boogie down to the BX this summer.

The Bronx not only has the incredible Botanical Gardens, and the Bronx Zoo, but plenty of cultural events, food festivals, and overall events galore.

Trust us, there's never a dull moment in the Bronx. Just check out this list if you don't believe us.

1. Rooftop Films: Inside Out

Outdoor movie screenings are cool, but rooftop movie screenings are even cooler. Inside Out is the last installment of the Bronx Terminal Market's rooftop film series, and it's all going down on August 9th.

The Bronx Zoo recently made the headlines after hatching its first ever baby penguin! The baby penguin was born on May 10th and was recently brought into the zoos main area, where it can now be seen by the public.

This little penguin is what's known as a fairy penguin, which is notable for being the smallest of the 18 penguin species. This new addition may be tiny, but they're definitely causing quite a stir already. Make sure you these critter in their tiny, newborn glory before they grow up to be a (still tiny, but much mightier) full grown penguin.
