- Part of Manhattan APPEARS to be in the Bronx. I believe the
- neighborhood is called Marble Hill. The reason it is on the
- Bronx side of the Harlem River is because the Harlem River was
- rerouted to cut Marble Hill off of Manhattan. Marble Hill
- remains politically part of Manhattan boro if not physically.
