I'm a young woman in my early twenties trying to get away from my past. right now I live in the west coast, Los Angeles . I want to start over my life far away from my past. I dropped out of four year college two years ago. I don't have much money in my hand but I have some to start.
Which is better Brooklyn or Queen?
I'm a pretty bright person, open minded, love walking, nature freaks, an explorer, and very mature for my age.
I can use some tips from you guys before I make up my mind.
I lived in NYC for a few years...and Brooklyn has some hard edges and a bit of attitude at times. Queens seemed to lack though. That's as a very general rule.
Of course there are some good places in Brooklyn and bad places in Queens...but GENERALLY Queens has an overall more comfortable less edge feel that Brooklyn...GENERALLY speaking here.
I've been to Brooklyn and Queens before. Brooklyn has a lot of deli's, small resturants, etc. The neighborhoods are pretty small, I'm sure you'd get to know your neighbors in a short time. There is a lot to do in Brooklyn as far as going to resturants, etc.
Queens is a small version on Manhatten, in my opinion. Many resturants as well. I haven't seen the neighborhoods, though. So, I can't really say a lot of about Queens.
Brooklyn and Queens are pretty similar. You'll see more kosher markets in Brooklyn, though. You'll notice that a lot.
I suggest choosing Brooklyn, like I said there is a lot to do there.

Maybe Brooklyn is a small version of Manhattan, but I don't see how Queens is. Queens and Manhattan have very little in common IMO.
You said you didn't have much money...there's nothing inherently bad with that, but this is an EXPENSIVE city. You'll be astounded at the burn rate of your money.

That may have been a key factor in me not moving to NYC. I dont recommend you moving to NY without money. At least, not without something to last you for a while.
Brookyln tends to have a better subway system, and if you love in northern brooklyn, you will be a stones throw away from manhattans prime areas. North Brooklyn has many different influences from queens to manhattan.
Queens always felt isolated to me. Like if you are in queens, you are in queens, no need to go to manhattan.
But then again I'm a north brooklyn dude, so I'm right in the spot to head to either manhattan or queens.

This isn't exactly true.. if you live in east Queens then yes, but west Queens is different.. there's not as many subway lines as in Brooklyn, but that's because it cuts through the borough rather than separating to different sections. It's not very isolated either, unless you choose to live in the suburbs closer to Long Island.
