I refuse to call New York "the city" if I'm not within the New York Metropolitan Region. Right now, I may refer to DC as the city, though I'm much more likely to use DC. I've said "the city" to tell people I'm moving from the suburbs, but that's about it.

I've come to my senses. NYC is much too grand to be known merely as "the city". I vote that we call it "The Universe". San Fran, "A Galaxy".

We get it… you call SF "the City". You can stop "casually" mentioning it now.

It's official. You're most likely a cool chick off of the Internet as well lol

SF may be the City on the West Coast but there's only one Capital of The World aka The City That Never Sleeps.
