All of them except Staten Island. Not many people who aren't from there go there because there is nothing on Staten Island!
Are u from NY by the way?? Just wondering why you would post this

All but Staten.. I'd love to visit Staten; I just really don't know what to do there. It doesn't warrant the amount of time it takes to get there.. just to look around.

I've been to them all...in all the years I've lived here (my entire 50+ years of life) if I hadn't, I'd be surprised.

I've been through four of the boroughs a few times. I don't know if I should count Staten Island because I never made it past the S.I. Ferry Terminal...

Isn't this a peculiar poll to take in a New York City forum (whether or not you're a New Yorker who's been to all five boroughs at some point)?

All of them, though I'm not as experienced with Staten Island as the other four boroughs.

I've been to all of them and I've lived in 3 in my seven short years here; I've been to Snug Harbor in Staten Island and that was kind of fun. You should check it out. It was a long time ago (15 years ago) but I do remember that we took our bikes on the ferry and rode over to Snug Harbor.
The borough I would most like to learn about is the Bronx. I've only been to few areas there (like the South Bronx for the artists trolley tour, the Yankee stadium area to look at an apartment and ABC Carpet warehouse. ...for a carpet!) I may have to hit up one of the Bronx forum members who have offered to give tours for the price of a beer!

For those of us who've been around the block, maybe we could have another poll on: What boros have you LIVED in ... for me, the approximate tally is 2 addresses in Queens (40 years apart!), 2 addresses in Brooklyn, 1 stopover in Staten Island, and about 10 addresses in Manhattan. I've visited the Bronx, but never let the sun set on me there! Wait a sec, there was a Santeria party about 25 years ago I dimly remember in Parkchester. And a few not so pleasant trips to Yankee Stadium!
