No asphalt jungle: Bronx Zoo is shady oasis for animals, visitors amid N.Y. hustle and bustle

On Nov. 4, Harvest Day becomes a celebration of music, storytelling, hayrides and apple cider as the zoo shows its respect for autumn. A stroll along the zoo's Mitsubishi Riverwalk under a canopy of gorgeous colors is advisable.

Holiday Lights, sponsored by Delta Air Lines and Pepsi, will be Nov. 16-Jan. 6, 2008. There are bright lights and festive entertainment during those days.

It is only food and drink that could be more prevalent — The Dancing Crane Cafe is a roomy, indoor, spacious restaurant with food and pop (which you will need a lot of in the summer — stay hydrated!), and the Bronx Zoo Store, which sells food and souvenirs. Such a large zoo requires several more restaurants.

If you have never been to a terrific zoo or you have been uncomfortable with zoos that are not animal-friendly, you should plan a long, leisurely visit to the Bronx Zoo.
