“The only people who call only Manhattan ‘the city’ are Jersey trash and those from Staten Island.”
Wrong. My friends and I ALL referred to Manhattan as “the city” when we were growing up in Brooklyn in the 1970s.
“The only people who call only Manhattan “the city” are Jersey trash and those from Staten Island.”
Get new friends then.
I was in Connecticut last week and my friend said to me “Can we head into the city tonight” to refer to our going out in Williamsburg.
We never set foot in Manhattan. Does that mean Brooklyn is now “the city” and Manhattan is the suburbs since someone referred to it that way, 4:58?
Not every Brooklynite talks about going into the City. Oldtimers often describe it as going to New York.
“Really? Every Brooklynite I know talks about going into the City”
Yup…all depends on context though. I’m a Brooklynite and while I might refer to “going into the city” I would say the EXACT same thing when I’m at the Jersey shore about heading home to Brooklyn….
Time to head back to the city.
What a silly thing to argue about.
I have lived in Manhattan most of my adult life and last year moved to Brooklyn. It was the best move I’ve ever made, and I’ve never been happier. If I won the mega ball lottery, I would not leave Park Slope.
Really? Every Brooklynite I know talks about going into the City, and every native Manhattanite I know agrees. Even the blog is called “Brooklyn Heights America’s First Suburb.”
Totally disagree with you 4:42. I moved to Brooklyn 23 years ago after having lived in different parts of Manhattan (West Village, Hell’s Kitchen + Upper West Side). At the time, Brooklyn had a really different feel than (calmer, stronger sense of neighborhood). The only thing I regret, is that Brooklyn has become so much more like Manhattan during the past 10 years.
Last I checked, Brooklyn was a part of New York City.
