There are a lot of neighborhoods I like, but a few that stand out in particular to me

Flatbush, Brooklyn: Nice mix of large Victorian houses and prewar elevator buildings, vibrant, strong West Indian cultural presence. Close to Prospect Park which is nice. If I had to pick which neighborhood was the most "Brooklyn", I'd probably go with Flatbush.

Williamsburg, Brooklyn: . It is super gentrified however the people hanging out there make up a very diverse crowd, and there are all sorts of bars and clubs of different varieties. Good place to eat as well as drink/party. Everything from affordable dive bars to huge EDM clubs. Neighboring Bushwick is turning into Williamsburg but it's way, way less white still. Heavily Hispanic with probably an equal mix of whites and blacks.

Kingsbridge, Bronx: Lots of trees, hills, hits a nice balance of still feeling like The Bronx without being super hood. Being so far up the 1 train kind of sucks, though.

Lower East Side, Manhattan: Very gentrified but still very gritty, nice place to go out to eat and a lit place to go out drinking. Super diverse crowd. Fun to just walk around and see what's going on.

Generally, I prefer older neighborhoods that were built before cars were a thing, they tend to be walkable and have a lot of energy.

I like brownstone lined streets and neighborhoods with character.

Agreed. I like brownstone lined streets but old school apartment buildings work too for me. Very uniquely New York in my opinion

Anyway my favorite neighborhoods are

Manhattan
- Harlem
- Washington Heights
- Soho

Brooklyn
- every single black neighborhood, DUMBO, Williamsburg

Queens
- Astoria
- Elmhurst
- Flushing
- Jamaica
- Forest Hills

Bronx
- all the areas along the 1 line
- Yankees stadium area
- Fordham

Staten Island
- I only like Tdot Hill because it’s the highest point on the entire east coast and has some nice mansion style homes.
