Reply to comment by Yourgrandsonishere in Westchester was one vote away from becoming part of NYC and Brooklyn barely made it by Furschitzengiggels

True. I guess my statement was more a testament to the notion that had Brooklyn not become part of New York, it would be hard to imagine New York as the remarkable place it is and was. It’s the sum of its parts that make unique.

It certainly would’ve been an alternate NYC but its close proximity would’ve rendered it essentially the same.

Personally as someone who barely leaves Manhattan (and if I do I mostly go to the Bronx), Manhattan is the center.

That said, I have several fond memories of Brooklyn and have about 55 more years to make more!
