Maybe the City Line sub-section of East New York/Brooklyn.
It's possible that with its growing South Asian presence it could be more associated with Queens due to being more demographically similar to Ozone Park than the rest of East New York.
Yea, Cypress Hills and Woodhaven seem to blur a bit. They do have a slightly different grid.
Marble Hill: is in Manhattan but locals call it The Bronx
Ridgewood: is in Queens but has more in common with Bushwick than Queens as a whole
Riverdale: is in The Bronx, but some snooty residents try to disassociate it from the borough
Washington Heights and Inwood: some people seem to think that they're in The Bronx or at least more similar to The Bronx than most of Manhattan
Harlem, people talk about it and identify with it like it’s a separate borough.
I remember once saying to this old timer from Harlem “oh you live in Manhattan??”, he lost it “No !! I’m not from Manhattan !! I’m from Harlem !!”
In the case of Ridgewood, residents don’t claim they’re from Bushwick, they say Queens, it is the realtors, trying to rent and sell “the next bushwick”, and I’ve heard yuppies and hipsters looking for roommates trying to convince people “yeah I know guys it’s technically not Brooklyn but it’s so close to Bushwick”... and the corny part is that certain people will tell you that they won’t move there because the address doesn’t say Brooklyn.
That's for convenience/safety reasons
But it is legally part of Manhattan
And how is it "physically" part of The Bronx? Yonkers is connected to the Bronx too but it's still not The Bronx.
It's physically part of the Bronx because it is physically attached to it lol if you look at it on a map it's attached to the Bronx even though it's part of Manhattan...so as Yonkers is physically attached to the Bronx but is its own neighborhood...just how the county lines were drawn

Well, the guy isn't wrong though. It's legally part of the borough of Manhattan. It's one of those little factoids that's neat and not that well known.

My friend from Bushwick went to Grover Cleveland high school and he said that they consider it to be Brooklyn
Some people forget about Roosevelt islands is part of manhattan .
Right. It feels more like LIC by Center Blvd to me than anywhere in Manhattan.
