if manhattan = "new york, new york," then brooklyn is bigger than "new york, new york." so there!

brooklyn 2.5 millionqueens 2.2 millionmanhattan 1.5 millionbronx 1.3 millionstaten island 444,000
and the other four are all growing faster than manhattan, which means manhattan, currently in third place in its own city, is quickly headed for fourth.

Bronck was a Swedish immigrant who settled in (what's now) the Bronx in 1641. His farm was 500 acres.
The area of Throgs Neck is said to be named after a landowner named Throckmorton, and similarly bastardized (from "Throckmorton's Neck").

presumably "the battery" means battery park, which is the farthest downtown you can go in manhattan. the bronx begins at the uptown end -- running parallel to harlem, inwood, etc, and extending farther north up towards westchester.

If someone offered me an all-expenses paid trip to "New York", and I found I *couldn't* go to Manhatten, I'd be pretty cheesed.

BTW: I only recently learned that "New York, New York" implies "Manhattan" whereas "New York City" refers to all five boroughs. (New Yorkers can take issue with this, but it's in the stylebook at my job.)― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, February 14, 2005 11:11 AM (10 years ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

Re: thread 1, seems obvious to me that he's borrowing the familiar City, State formula, but giving emphasis to to it in a way that turns it, emotionally, into City, CITY!!!! I mean no way on that awesome last declaration is he thinking about NYC's situaton within the larger state economy or upstate getaway optiions or w/e.
