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.
