You wouldn't believe how hard it is for me to find this. Probably has something to do with the German server I'm using, but anyway... What are the districts of New York City? One of my friends asked me and I'm not sure I could name all of them. Here's what I know:

Manahattan
Long Island
The Bronx
Brooklyn
Queens
Staten Island

Is that all of them? Does anyone know a good website? Any help is appreciated! :)

I come from Scarsdale, New York, a sleepy little suburb of New York City. The five boroughs are Manhattan, the Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn and Staten Island. You were right except for Long Island. Queens and Brooklyn are part of Long Island.

Long Island isn't one?

(she asks, totally aware that she sounds like a Midwesterner)

Queens and Brooklyn are part of Long Island. I had just added that to my original post when you asked.

Ahhhhhh, I see. Thank you!

this is kinda o/t, but i told someone i was from Long Island, and they told me "cool..i've never been to that state". What a moron.

:rotflmao:

:lol:

I love Long Island, My mother was born and raised in Hempstead and I still have family down there in Nassau and Suffolk Counties.

Dont forget SoHo and Greenwhich Village.

And Chinatown and Little Italy!! Theyre on the maps!! lol

If you're referring to the five boroughs, then the ones you listed are correct except for Long Island.

As for sections, I only know the ones in Manhattan, lol....
Lower East Side, East Village, Soho, Noho, Chinatown, Little Italy, Financial District, Battery Park City, Greenwich Village, East Village, Chelsea, West Side, Upper East Side, Upper West side, East Harlem, Washington Heights, Harlem, etc.

Anyways--- whats SoHo?? I know thats where all the good shops are. Soho is just south of Noho/Houston Street and west of Little Italy. It's exactly like Noho, only it's more.. south, LOL. And yeah, they have lots of good stores there-- American Eagle, Banana Republic, Yellow Rat Bastard, lol-- you name it.

Okay, what is with my encyclopedia? It says the five boroughs of NY are Manhattan, The Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn, and Richmond. Richmond?? Why are they considering Staten Island as Richmond?

Hi, Cashodeen.

Well, someone else probably knows more about this than I do, but Staten Island is located in Richmond County, and Richmond may be a previous or alternate name for it.

Yes, that's what I was wondering. I forgot to mention in my last post that my encyclopedia is 1964. Perhaps that has something to do with it. Thoughts anyone? :)

Don't forget Hell's Kitchen. It's actually referred to as Clinton on maps.

It's not named after former President Clinton, they've been using that name for almost twenty years. I guess they don't like the name Hell's Kitchen.

What's not to like?

;)

What/where is Hells Kitchen?

Glad you asked.

Hells' Kitchen is west of the Theater district stretching from roughly 34th Street to the mid Fifties, from 9th avenue to the Hudson river. It is one of the oldest and most culturally diverse areas of Manhattan. The name was changed to Clinton many years ago in an attempt to spruce up the image of the neighborhood, which was not the nicest places to live once upon a time. Fortunatly, the new name didn't stick, and pretty much everybody (even the newspapers and TV) still calls it Hell's Kitchen.
How did it get the name Hell's Kitchen? That's a story for another time...

;)

TJL- I've always thought you made the term, "Hell's Kitchen" up. :lol: I don't think I've ever heard it called that before.

That's like Marge on "The Simpsons" with her famous "I'd love to visit that Long Island place.I only wish it was real".Well Let me tell you something Marge If Long Island isn't real then I'm not real either!

You guys should go rent that movie Sleepers if you haven't already seen it. Much of it takes place in Hells Kitchen.
