There are many Texas threads in here, so I don't see why this can't be in General US.

Probably because the OP wants to hear how others around the country feel or just a wider audience.

Quote:
Food: Queens (very diverse)

Architecture: Queens (wide diversity)

Arts: I haven't the slightest clue (probably Brooklyn)

Best Bridge: Brooklyn (Verazzano ftw)

Culture: Queens (very diverse)

Nightlife: Brooklyn (not a "nightlife" person so I just guessed)

Music Scene: Toss Up (probably The Bronx)

Parks: Queens (largest borough & the most suburban of the 3)

Schools: Toss Up (pretty much the same, public schools suck in all 3)

Neighborhoods: Subjective (Queens' neighborhoods are more distinct, most people identify with neighborhoods as opposed to borough, it's the opposite for the other boroughs)
Let it be known that all 3 are no slouches in either category.

As it stands as an Xmen

The biggest park is in the bronx-pelham bay
The bronx zoo(americas biggest metropolitan zoo) is bigger than anything in . Queens and brooklyn
And the NEW YORK YANKEES IS THE BIGGEST DRAW OUTSIDE MANHATTAN
The new york botanical garden is bigger than both the queens and brooklyn garden
riverdale is better than anywhere in bk
The bronx wins
the bronx is underatted
but not for long

Culture: Brooklyn for overall choices, but Queens probably has more variety
Nightlife: Brooklyn
Music Scene: Brooklyn
Parks: Brooklyn (Prospect Park, Brooklyn Bridge Park) followed by Queens(Flushing Meadows) - but should note also that the Bronx Zoo is awesome
Schools: Queens
Neighborhoods:Brooklyn
Overall, Brooklyn wins IMO. But I love all NYC's boroughs... even the Bronx and Staten Island.

Queens is more than twice as large as The Bronx.

The bronx loses!
