Manhattan FTW! We were here first! We were cool first! And we have Central Park, the Empire State Building, Broadway theatres, and Madison Avenue!

Boy, after reading the statistics page, I didn't realize Brooklyn outshines Manhattan in many ways except price of rentals and income levels.

The only thing Manhattanites seem to have over Brooklynites is the snobbery...ie. Some Manhattanites wouldn't even date someone in another borough...

@DBlack and you have Cake Man Raven ...love his red velvet cakes.. but honestly I even like going to Queens ..so what's the big deal with this rivalry?

@Uraniumfish I actually saw that attitude on an episode of the Real Housewives.. the folks that I hang out in Manhattan are nothing like those crazy women.

And isn't everyone partial to their own neighborhood as well? New Yorkers will find a way to have a rivalry whenever possible.

@Uraniumfish I have friends who won't date outside of Brooklyn, though it's less for reasons of snobbery and more because of the pain it can be to travel outside of the borough to see someone frequently.

@ajadeidealist Ha! They only hope so! How would they know about quality, seeing as they can barely get in any practice! Like a concert pianist, one must practice practice practice to get to sexual virtuosity. Go Brooklyn! (It's fun to stoke this rivalry a little.)
