I google viewed Middle Village Queens and I was awe-struck by how beautiful and old-fashioned it looks. Places in NYC are usually urban or gentrified; not often do you see a wholesome town.

The entire Bronx, other than Yankee stadium I don't believe I've ever been there.
Most of queens, outside of Howard beach and the LIC area, I don't know any other area.
I'm pretty familiar with most of Brooklyn and manhattan and my home borough of SI.
Queens and the Bronx seem like another planet though lol

I'm pretty familiar with Staten Island (home borough), Brooklyn, and Manhattan.

I've been to a few neighborhoods in The Bronx, and a few more neighborhoods in Queens, but not enough to say I'm really too familiar with them overall. (Maybe now that I go to school in Upper Manhattan, I'll get to know a few more Bronx neighborhoods).

Im. Currently unfamiliar with Staten Island and most of Queens. The farthest I have been in Staten Island was in New Dorp for a psal football match, and that was a decade ago.

1. Staten Island - hardly know anything about it, only went once a long time ago
2. Bronx - been there several times but not nearly as much as other boroughs, and still don't know the character or even the name of many neighborhoods

I don't think I've ever been to Staten Island outside the ferry terminal and the expressway. I may have gotten gas there once, but that could also have been in NJ; I don't remember.

Staten Island I've driven through but never got out and walked around or went into any stores or businesses. The other boroughs I've been around in by car, subway, and on foot. Except for Staten Island I know the city pretty well for a non-New Yorker. I enjoy visiting NYC and checking out neighborhoods in the outer boroughs.

All I've been through in SI is the 278 highway to go to BK and Queens.
