see, THIS is the reason why I'm teaching my 1st graders about the different parts of the city, and how NYC is a part of NYS, which is a part of the United States. This isn't even in the 1st grade curriculum, it's ridiculous. I don't care what my administration thinks--I need to spend a few days teaching them this critical stuff that they do need to know in their everyday lives.

A lot of people think NYC is so populated it must take up most of the state.

Hope none of these people

I know all about how the boroughs work and which ones are where...even their populations and general demographic make-up; I could probably even tell which borough a person is from based on their accent having never lived in NYC....but I challenge anyone from NYC to name 5 counties in Upstate NY north of Orange County.
EDIT: WITHOUT looking at a map!
