As a non NYerker, I think of -the city- as Manhattan.

The city to me is any of the 5 boroughs (including the two that are on Long Island.) Just like "The Island" is Long Island (including Brooklyn and Queens) because I'm from "the Island."


And hang on, when did you win the discus?

As a non-New Yorker, I tend to think of it as Manhattan.

I happen to like New York...

To me, it means Manhattan. If I'm going to the Bronx, I say "The Bronx"

As a NYer in suburbia, I consider any of the boroughs the city.

Then again, my friend from California, whenever I refer to "the city" thinks I am talking about Sacramento...

I think of all 5 boroughs...HA, and I love this discussion of "the island" because I actually have heard someone call Manhattan "the island" and in my head I was, "excuse me? while Manhattan IS an island..."
