"Quite interesting that you consider Manhattan to be the real NYC. My experience in that regard differed a little from yours, I grew up in Brooklyn and lived there for eight years. In elementary school, I learned that NYC was made up of 5 boroughs and I had always thought that all 5 had as good a claim to the title of "the City"....that was of course until I moved to Westchester. There I was quite disillusioned when I found out that most people consider only the island to be NYC. Just like you, I still don't know what to say to that. As you said population-wise it would be silly to disregard Brooklyn and Queens. However it seems that Manhattan defies any sort of grouping or qualification."--( posted on Feb 26, 2013, commenting on the post This City is More Than Just Maps )
