What about XXX for 42nd Street?

Well she could list The Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island.
Manhattan is a borough but it's not really what is meant when boroughs
are mentioned. All 5 boroughs are New York City but Manhattan is The
City to most of us.

What about listing all the Boroughs in those squares?

Sorry to disagree with you but I was born in Brooklyn and lived there for 60
years and never ever thought of New York City as being anything less than 5
boroughs. Yes, I called Manhattan the "City," probably (and this is a
guess) because it certainly is the most sophisticated and important borough,
but that still doesn't make it anything but a borough. Definitely the most
well known one, but a borough nevertheless.

I take it you haven't been to NYC in awhile... 42nd st is now Disney-fied
and family friendly. All the XXX have moved around the corners to the
avenues.

I think it's a matter of perspective. I grew up in Long Island and when we
(my friends and I) said "the city" we only meant Manhattan. It wasn't until
I actually worked in Manhattan that I "discovered" the boroughs, but it's
still not what I think of when I say "the city". I lived in Queens, not the
city. I went to Brooklyn, not the city. And now I live in the city
(manhattan). So, I guess it's just how you've been raised to think of it
all.

I lived in Brooklyn and worked in Manhattan. You and I agree that we call
Manhattan "The City." That still doesn't take away the fact that it's a
borough, has always been a borough and will always remain a borough. I know
it's definitely the most important borough and certainly the most
interesting borough, but no matter what we think, it's a borough.

Living in Brooklyn when we traveled to Manhattan we referred to it as
Uptown, when we went to the court areas in Brooklyn we traveled Downtown.
Who knows why, but that's the way it was.

From what I know from my Bronx friends, when they traveled to Manhattan they
traveled downtown. It's all in your perspective.

Yes, I knew that. Aren't you all interested in the "memories"? VBEG
