Really, New York?

[Buddy]

i've phone years without stepping foot on staten island.

"I've phone"?
iPhone???
Wait, I've BEEN...

I do only because of hobby reasons, I enjoy riding the different train and bus routes throughout the city.



Staten Island for example there's no reason to go to that borough. Its biggest attraction is a Ferry that takes you to and from Manhattan. When tourists get off the Ferry in Staten Island and they get on the very next boat back to Manhattan


Manhattan is the biggest appeal of NYC, east/west village, lower east side, soho, harlem, etc. I totally see how a random New Yorker spends most of their time in Manhattan and whatever outer borough they live in.


Queens has nightlife, it also has beaches in the Rockaways, etc.

I'm not including Staten Island in this. I found it crazy he's not exploring the others but idk. Maybe he had that phase and got over it. Breh basically said if it's too far he ain't gon make it and made it sound like that's how most New Yorkers are

I got an off topic question: Do yall move around the boroughs like that? I went to visit some years back and met up with a friend in Harlem but he said he doesn't get outta Queens much aside from work (in Manhattan)


I said HOW it's NEW YORK

Ay....I used to think like that, but living in the Bay I can see it. Ppl from the East Bay (Oakland , Berkeley, Hayward) don't really be going to the Peninsula (SF, Santa Clara, Cuppertino) unless its a real reason. And don't get me started on the South Bay (San Jose) havent been there in years.

Saying this in relation to mindset, not geography

My grandmother lived in the South Bronx and never left the block. Everything she needed was there. The grocery store was a block away so that would be her weekly adventure. If you live in a real city you don't ever have to leave a five mile radius or even less if you wanna go full hermit mode.

Queens has nightlife, it also has beaches in the Rockaways, etc.

I lived in Brooklyn for 6 years and was within biking distance to the Rockaways (fukking love that place), Plumb Beach, Manhattan Beach and Coney Island. That's what I miss most about living there. Then I discovered Floyd Bennett Field on my bikes to the Rockaways, that place is super fun to bike in. I would see giant piles of what i thought was snow on the sidewalk outside of one of the old hangars that was converted to commercial and sporting space. Later I found out that there is an ice skating rink in the re and that's where the zamboni dumps the ice shavings. shyt had me baffled for at least two years.

Lames run together that’s why y’all are friends. One lane getting travel advice from another lame.

Real nikkas travel to every borough (except Long Island and Staten) plus NJ especially to party and get bytches.

If you’re from Queens, Harlem might as well be another planet. Even within boroughs people tend to only move through adjacent neighborhoods. Someone from Brownsville/Flatbush/Crown Heights rarely goes to DUMBO, etc. NY is technically big but for this reason, it’s socially very small

I get that if you're a native but he's not from there I don't even understand how yall have jobs, life seems like a fukkin movie there. I'd be all over the place.


Maybe he already got it outta his system.
He did marry early tho

A lot of transplants do the “all over the place” thing for the first few years then get burnt out and settle down. Queens is known as a more family oriented, local type of borough people move when they wanna settle down

Nope!

Unless it’s for pùssy or a party you really want to go to — and Manhattan is the central point for work — why go from borough to borough just to go. It’s like traveling to another large city just for the hell of it.

We’re not talking going from like Santa Monica to fuçkin Oxnard or something. BX to Jamaica Queens takes a minute to get to. You need a helicopter
