Rank the Five Boroughs of New York City from Best to Worst

Manhattan Brooklyn Queens Bronx

Staten Island.

The Bronix always belongs on the bottom.

How rude R2

The Bronx is underrated. Brooklyn is overrated. I’ve never been to Staten Island.

Of the ones I’ve been to,

1. Manhattan 2. Queens 3. Bronx 4. Brooklyn

[quote]The Bronx always belongs on the bottom.

But is it an INSATIABLE bottom?

Just a sloppy one r5.

Staten Island is really New Jersey.

Staten Island

Staten Island always makes me think of Colin Jost, who is from there.

The Bronx is beautiful. It has more parkland than any other borough. Riverdale looks like one of the nicer towns in lower Westchester County. City Island resembles a New England fishing village. The Grand Concourse has more Art Deco architecture than Miami. Belmont has a Little Italy with even a few actual Italians left (though they’re now being replaced by their cousins from across the Adriatic, the Albanians). There’s also the magnificent Botanical Gardens, the world-class Bronx Zoo, and the convenience of being a connected to the mainland. Queens on the other hand is Long Island writ small. Staten Island is New Jersey’s unwanted bastard child. And Brooklyn is now just a place for white people who can’t afford Manhattan.

They all have their great parts and their shitty parts.

I went to Hoboken once and the guys there were gorgeous.

Broboken, r12

Were they Eye-talians R12?

I don't know what they were R14, but they were just so beautiful and they were all over the place.

Are there any gay neighborhoods in Bronx?

Miami

Tampa

Orlando

Palm Beach

Naples

r16, I wouldn’t describe it as a gay neighborhood, but the area around Yankee Stadium at 161st St and the Grand Concourse is where I know quite a few gay people to be living.

You forgot Hoboken and Jersey City OP.

They are more NY than Staten Island is.

I grew up in Brooklyn. I took the train into Manhattan for high school. Each borough, as some poster before me pointed out, has its good neighborhoods and bad neighborhoods. If you want a traditional brownstone, there 's nothing like the ones in many neighborhoods of Brooklyn. Riverdale in the Bronx is lovely with tremendous views of Manhattan or the Hudson. In Queens, Douglaston is a great, leafy neighborhood. There are some great neighborhoods in Staten Island. What I love about the boroughs is the diversity of the people who live there. And how different they are from one another.

If you need to pick one of the five to live, you have to ask what you want to spend or can afford and what type of life you lead. Manhattan is now out of most people's price range, but if I lived in Manhattan, I would have to go out constantly...because there is so much going on. It seems to me that quiet evenings at home would be a rarity.
