Did you know...our newest promo card just dropped, and this one is pure gold.

The front: Boogie Down Bronx, in gold.
Boogie Down Bronx
The front of the card is our Boogie Down Bronx design: big gold block letters with drips and splatter on a black background. Flip it over for five "Did You Know" facts about The Bronx, plus a bonus black and white photo of 161 (shout out to 161 BID), shot from a helicopter.

The back: 161 from above, and a little Bronx history in your pocket.
The Breakdown
- Van Cortlandt House, built in 1748, is the oldest building in The Bronx, and George Washington used it as a headquarters during the Revolutionary War.
- The Grand Concourse was modeled after the Champs-Élysées and is home to the largest concentration of Art Deco apartment buildings in the USA.
- Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor grew up in The Bronx, attended Cardinal Spellman High School, and graduated as valedictorian in 1972.
- Fordham University's Keating Hall stood in for the Pentagon in the movie "A Beautiful Mind" (2001).
- Breakfast was born with a bang in The Bronx! In 1901, botanist Alexander Pierce Anderson blasted rice out of pressurized "guns" at The New York Botanical Garden, creating puffed rice, which Quaker Oats sold as "Food Shot From Guns."
