What's your favorite borough?

[dggoldst]

I have a feeling this will be a close call between two of the contenders. Yuh votes are public.

sounds like a poll to me

(BROOKLYN)

 

[dggoldst]

I'm going to do what Berrebbi will do and say Manhattan. Sorry, Brooklyn, my former home.

Gold: Manhattan

Silver: Queens

Bronze: Brooklyn

My favorite borough really is Doylestown, PA, but of those listed, my favorite by far is Brooklyn (though I think I've spent less than a half-hour in SI and Bronx combined, so perhaps my vote is premature).

 

[Maddy]

Boroughs ranked
Manhattan -I will concede that it is the best although my personal favorite is
Brooklyn
Bronx - beats Queens for it's cool nickname - The Boogie Down and New Yorkness
Queens






SI If you have to include it

 

[Kansas Boy]

Went with the Bronx for personal reasons. I lived there for a while and was mugged (first and only time, it was special). I also agree with Maddy and the nickname, although S.I. has "Shao Linn". WU-What? Wu-Tang

[dggoldst]

Wow! This neck-and-neck stuff is killing me! Which will it be, Brooklyn or Manhattan?

Bronx         2 
Brooklyn      12 
Manhattan     13 
Staten Island 1 
Queens        4

And why aren't more Queens people representin'?

 

[Maddy]

And why aren't more Queens people representin'?

Because even they know how lame Queens is.

No, I didn't!


Yes, I did.

 

[VarietyUndrgrnd]

The Queens people are representing.

We're voting for Brooklyn.

 

[edna]

Queens!

 

[kevhines]

I love Queens. But I prefer Manhattan.
I am not that into Brooklyn.

I think most Brooklyn people love Brooklyn.
Queens people like Queens but would live in Manhattan if they could afford it.
And the Bronx and Staten Island are fictional lands found in books by Dahl and Carroll.

[GoldDustWoman]

Shouting out to the Broncks for old times sake and because it's so underrepresented. Did a lot of fine living up there.

Although born in Brooklyn, currently living in Manhattan, and at one point having a noncustodial parent in Queens, I feel broad-minded on this issue.

 

[Petra B]

Brooklyn

 

[mindygirl]

And living 3 blocks from Petra B, I have to agree with The Brooklyn.

Brooklyn but the real Brooklyn, not the areas that are said in the same breath as Manhatten neighborhoods. No seven dollar cocktails and targeted luxury dollars. I'm talking the unique Brooklyn flava'. I'm talking underground vodka bars in Midwood, hot men playing basketball in Crown Heights on a Wednesday night, the Puerto Rican parties on the Boardwalk in Coney Island, the Friday dusk rush of Bensonhurst, Indian food in Bay Ridge, the Disney-like appeal of a meal at Sahara, the rocks course that is McDonald Avenue, the wilderness preserves flanking the Belt...Welcome to Brooklyn, we got what you need.

if I didn't have to work or hit the improv nexus, I'd rarely (mostly never) enter Manhatten. I love the Bronx too, but it feels too much like intensified Brooklyn blight. Staten Island is nothing more but the stop off between Brooklyn and Jersey. And as far as Queens goes, just the street names alone makes me quiver with fear and ickatude. Queens- where New Yorkers go to be lost.

I wouldn't be ALIVE if it weren't for Queens. My dad popped the question to Moms whilst "parking" across from the Neptune diner.

I also enjoy the Greeks. Their food, Oozo, Telly Savalas...

I grew up in Manhattan, but Brooklyn is the place I love....BROOKLYN!!!
