My cousin married a Dominican and brought him over to Russian Brooklyn. The duder told me it was like moving to Mars after a lifetime in Harlem. There is no one NYC. It’s all ethnic ghettos and a few affluent hipster zones where the hipsters are 100% clueless about the ocean of ethnic proles they are surrounded by and the totally different lives they lead.

Though people tend to identify more with their borough, i.e Brooklyn, Queens, SI, Bronx.
People identify with Manhattan too and you have natives but MFH is Ground Zero of GC and a cum dump of corporate power and fake lighting with some residential zones mixed in, so MFH people tend to identify with their neighborhood more. |

Date: July 21st, 2019 10:27 AM Author: Cowardly Philosopher-king The funny thing is nightclubs in Queens and Brooklyn get packed with Long Island people. It's like they come all the way to the city, but stop right before MFH. Weird.
I don't think people on LI spend as much time in the city as you think though. They do tend to stick to their areas. My friends in Long Beach love Long Beach, stay in Long Beach. LI is generally close to the city but it always felt weird and isolated to me because it's just a crowded island that you have to drive through NYC to get off of. No real difference in terrain or geography. It's just gets more prole/methy the farther east you go until you get to the Hamptons, which is its own thing and then Montauk. |
