“Chelsea” is Hell’s Kitchen with more palatable PR branding

I like how cops in tv shows and movies cross Manhattan to interview a witness in like zero time at all.

Ugh. Watched the recent copaganda murder documentary on Netflix and the fact they continually showed Manhattan sideways running East x West made me so twitchy.

But what did you do with the top half.

2 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

As I was finishing up a delivery to lower Manhattan and getting ready to leave, I once asked for directions to the 59th Street bridge, as I had read it on my map. No one knew what I was talking about. One person asked to see my map and immediately said "Oh that's the Queensboro" and showed me the best route to get there

I had that experience just the other day. I guess that name is losing favor, although it is immortalized in the Simon & Garfunkel song. One thing is for sure though: no one calls it by its official name, the Ed Koch.

What happens on Rosevelt Island? Ive never heard of it.

2 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Nothing. Though there are some nice apartments with great views of the city.

And they have a bar!

One.

Nothing happens there. No one goes there.

Two decades in this city and I’ve known 1 person who used to live there.

I’ve been there once, in an Uber pool back in the before times, making a stop between Manhattan and Queens.

Where’s the north half of the island, @OP? There’s rich history inside and outside of films there too, you know!

The problem is that requires two photos, and we all know Imgur servers would put the photo of the top half on the bottom.

That’s upstate NY - i.e. anything above 125th st.

This is how I troll my NYC friends, too! Was watching "The Wiz" recently, someone says, "Girl, you know you've never been south of 125th St!" I said, "Oh, so she's from Upstate New York."

Harlem - isn't it? Black and Spanish history. Can't figure why they'd ever be left out.

This is the map that used to appear in yellow cabs—they didn’t go that far north, so they didn’t have it on the map. -.-

Namely a history of rich people gentrifying neighborhoods.

2 years ago | Likes 20 Dislikes 4

The history of Manhattan is wild. It needs a different prefix than “gentri-“ in this case. Vilifying? Oppressifying?

I learned all these by playing Spider-Man video games like God intended, thank you very much.

I can assure you NYC has plenty of trains. Could it use a few more? Absolutely. But it is certainly not lacking in the train department.

Guessing it is like with Stockholm, needs more for areas outside the main city area.

Nobody says Stuyvesant Town, it’s Stuy-Town. Pronounced “stye-town”. Also, Houston St is “house-tin”, Greenwich Village is “gren-itch”, and nobody says Avenue of the Americas, it’s just 6th Ave.
