ABC was covering the aftermath of the snowstorm and interviewing people on the street. They commented on how the UES wasn't plowed or cleared properly and Brooklyn was. They interviewed a hipster in Brooklyn and here is what he said: "Brooklyn is now the cultural epicenter of NYC and Manhattan is second class and they just have to get used to it."

Oh, really?? Brooklyn is the "epicenter" because the transplanted hipsters cannot afford Manhattan?

Stupid.

Who cares what one random person has to say? It's not worth commenting on at all.

It's like there was no art, style, musical creations, culinary goodness or even culture available until a few transplant hipsters came and brought it to Brooklyn or in the entire New York City. Come on on now, it's over accolades.

but go ahead. keep letting the blind lead the blind and see where

we all end up in this country.

You could spend all day, every day getting peeved about what some random passerby has to say into a reporter's microphone.

That would be stupid too.

I didn't get peeved over it. I was just commenting about it. I couldn't believe anyone would say something like that. "Brooklyn is the cultural epicenter of NYC"...... okay!

There are things that I have heard that I could not believe or fathom would come out of someone's mouth..this doesn't even make that list or is worthy of thinking once about.

Brooklyn is anything but the cultural epicenter of NYC, Manhattan will always be the cultural epicenter of the city and the country. Brooklyn is without a doubt evolving, but by no means does it mean that it's the cultural epicenter of the city.
