My guess is either Williamsburg, Greenpoint, LIC, Astoria, Ridgewood, Jackson Heights, Prospect Lefferts Gardens, Gowanus, Fort Greene, Clinton Hill, Greenwood Heights or Sunset Park.
Why anyone cares what this guy's third world miserable mentality is. He hates it ALL!
Many of New York city's best neighborhoods are gritty. Is the city! Millions of people live work and visit the city's every corners daily!
Reminds me people from Chicago who come for the first time to the city. NYC is not Chicago! Is always been like that,and has improved a lot.
Might be gritty but far from third world. Why you in the City,Just GO!
I love New York
Nice to hear from a friendly and reasonable soul! I totally agree with you. Amen, amen.

He, like some other posters have an obsession with the "third world," "poor people," the ills of the ghetto and a generally dystopian pathology that's quite idiotic and very far fateched and silly.

You got that right. On if knowing Chicago before NYC. I lived in Chicago for 6 years. Before my first visit to Manhattan. The movies don't show trash bags on sidewalks in Midtown by Times Square or the Empire State building. Or a sense of grime that is more "Politically Correct" under the guise of the term Gritty and gated and shuttered storefronts when closed. I remember my first visit.
You DO NOT see that in downtown Chicago. The Wealth of NYC should have it make a better effort to clean up its key areas of Manhattan. Surely there is a better way to do bags of garbage better and ban those gated stores in key areas of Manhattan at least too.
Heck, it sure does not look safer then Chicago. I abhor those shuttered stores even on 5th Ave parts. If it can ban Big Sodas. It can ban those Gated-storefronts too. They are ugly and give you a sense of looking like you are in a high-crime neighborhood.

Ahhh, buts it's New York..... fa'geta'bout'it
Chicago have alleys to put the trash on and hide it,even in some Downtown streets. So is relatively easy to maintain.And the areas that doesn't have the alleys downtown are limited so not as equal to compare since it takes less of an effort. Most other areas have alleys.
Chicago folks do NOT party like New Yorkers do either! Lol That's a factor which certainly leave a trace behind.
Also,Chicago never had the graffiti history that New York has. So is another factor that makes it look cleaner.
I'm not saying New York can't do better. Of course it can, and it has over the years.But there's a series of factors as explained If it comes down to comparing it with Chi-town and nevertheless a third world country!
And don't get me started about safety in Chi-town streets vs NYC! 5th Avenue unsafe? Cmon!

He's talking about Bushwick I bet. I lived over there myself for nearly 3 years...not all of them bad but I eventually wised up and jumped over to the Jersey side of the river. Been over here 10 months now and have to say basically everything is less expensive and easier over here and IMO I can't see ever dealing with Brooklyn or Queens again. I just hate LI in general. If I had to live in the 5 boroughs again it would be one of the other 3.

He said a safe neighborhood. So assumed it wasn't Bushwick.
