I'd say the Bronx because everyone seems to neglect it. Whenever you ask someone where they plan on moving in NYC its always the usual. Its fun asking why not try the Bronx, its always the same response,"oh I never even thought of that". Second place I would say all of Manhattan because its pretty much the center attraction, pretty much has it all.

From Favorite to least favorite:

- Brooklyn (idk why, but I def like the overall flavor of BK. It's kinda like Manhattan w/o the flashing lights & the tourists)
- Queens (love the suburban scenery. this is where i live now. only thing there is not to do here IMO)
- Bronx (the spanish chicas lol...low cost of living by NYC standards, park space, chicken spots open 24 hrs. just don't like all the crime and poverty...this is also the boro I grew up in)
- Manhattan (yes this is my least fav. i rarely go to Manhattan these days -- maybe like once every 3 months, lol! Total police state, too many tourists, pedestrians, traffic, beggars, solicitors...just awful...totally overrated IMB)

Didn't vote for SI, cuz I haven't been there since 3rd grade, LOL

1) Queens-Great nabes, cafes, food, bars (the still somewhat undiscovered 'cool' borough).
2) Manhattan-It's Manhattan.
3) Brooklyn-Not laid back as Queens, and not as lively as Manhattan. Sometimes I want one, sometimes the other.
4) Bronx-They have the Yankees.
5) Staten-____________

I love all my Boroughs. They are what makes NYC. Everybody has something to offer.

The Bronx: Birth of Hip Hop, Yankees, Largest Metropolitan Zoo in the whole US, Little Italy
Manhattan: Times Square, Beautiful buildings, Little Italy, China Town etc...
Queens: Mets, Chinatown, etc...
Brooklyn:..................
Staten Island: Little Italy, etc...

Gotta love NYC

You couldn't think of anything for Brooklyn? Come on now..it's the home of Notorious P.I.G., decent cheesecake, and has some nice buildings.

1. Manhattan - for the the 24-hour bustle. Uptown is the best.
2. Queens - for the diversity. No other single place in the world has as much diversity as Queens.
3. The Bronx - cool vibrant style and home of hip-hop, salsa (to an extent), etc. and a lot of fashion trends (yes, Manhattan fashion people are really just biters who get their ideas from the styles of The Bronx). Also, there's a lot of green areas here.
4. Brooklyn - I work here, and except for some places, it sucks. It can get so fake, full of hipsters and pretentiousness.
5. Staten Island - Who cares about this borough? (No offense) It should secede or be given to Jersey.

New Jersey declines.
