I thought bay ridge was mostly Arab and forest hills was Russian or Uzbek. Most people I know who reside in those places come from those nationalities.

Bay Ridge has a lot of Italian-Americans too. It is very diverse but there are a lot of Americans of different backgrounds.

Drive through at Christmas and look at the lights. Some people spend on their Christmas lights. I'd say that's the Italian-American section.

Bay Ridge has Arabs primarily in the northern part up in the 60s, but overall, it is mainly Italian-Americans, Irish-Americans, Greek-Americans, Scandinavians (Norweigans) and such that live in Bay Ridge as long-standing residents.
