Not sure why anyone would answer anything other than Manhattan. The poll should ask what is the 2nd best borough
Where's the 'I'm not from the East Coast so I don't believe that the world revolves around either/or/both NY or Boston and therefore everyone automatically knows the intimate geography of either' option?
Xero, if you don't know, then the question isn't toward you. AH7, once upon a time Manhattan literally WAS New York City until the consolidation in 1898. It's funny, if Brooklyn and Queens were their own cities, they would be the fourth and fifth largest cities respectively. Yet and still, when New Yorkers talk about going "into the city," they're referring to the third largest borough and smallest geographically, Manhattan.

Best city in the U.S. (top 3 in the world), bar none. Manhattan is easily my favorite. Obvious reasons. Everything is in Manhattan. The energy is unmatched by anywhere else.
manhattan is great if you have TONS of money. however, manhattan is dead, over, corporate and a museum. brooklyn still has a pulse but many areas are heading the way of manhattan. people visiting the city versus living in one borough or another, these are totally different things. i've lived in both (when both still had edge), but with kids and all brooklyn has a slower pace and has all the creature comforts without hoards of tourists and commuters. i think it is something like 4x as many people living in brooklyn v. manhattan.
depends on where you are in Brooklyn. there's 1.6x as many people in Brooklyn vs. Manhattan. FYI Brooklyn's population peaked in the 1950s
def. depends where you are in brooklyn. some are full-blown manhattan, others gentrifying at various rates and the rest, the untapped wastelands that are a long way from being anywhere i would choose to live. manhattan's more homogenous and becoming more and more so. just looked at current pop. numbers and there are still a million more people living in brooklyn. but realize, brooklyn much more likely to have many people unaccounted for in census.
They do make good beer in Brooklyn though. Anyway I consider Manhattan and Brooklyn about equal but voted for Manhattan because I used to date a girl there. Never spent much time in the Queens or the Bronx and have never been to Staten Island. I would like to check it out though as I hear it is the one borough that still has a lot of open space.

Respect to the BNT peeps, but Manhattan will obviously win this in a landslide.
