We've had this discussion before. It's all in your head, because when you're in Jersey City, you are aware of the fact that you're in another state. Fact is, Jersey City has more of a NYC feel than MANY (most?) parts of Queens, especially the more suburban spots. What about Howard Beach makes you feel like you're in NYC...or ANY city for that matter? It's the burbs. Where in Staten Island does one feel like they're in any city, let alone NYC? At least in Jersey City you feel like you're in a city. This is because it's closer to manhattan than the outer stretches of the boroughs. Urbanization spreads out...the further you are from a city's center, or "downtown", the more suburbanized it gets. Jersey City is not "trying" to be anything it's not. But it has a very brownstoney, NYC look to it. Quite frankly, it looks very much like the more historic parts of Brooklyn.
I think you are exemplifying the NY attitude. This is why many of us can't stand you guys. You honestly and truly think the world revolves around you.
And the Bronx? Please. At the very least, I can say that my neighborhood in JERSEY CITY is much more desirable from a real estate perspective than your neighborhood is. But, you're in the REAL NYC, so...
I knew it was coming. I dont live in the ghetto if thats what your implying i live in a nice gated community. And i'll take the good parts of the bronx trillion times over jersey city. Come see riverdale if you think that, pelham, country club etc. Jersey City is a wannabe new york, full of wannabe new yorkers. Yes im in the real new york and my borough is better and more famous than your city. What is jersey city known for? The only reason ya breathe is because of nyc and you gonna sit here and compare it to a city that holds its own on its own. ...CK outta here
Jersey city does not have more of a new york feel than any borough or any part of a borough, thats the thing ya cant get across ya heads. New york is new york. If your in a suburb in queens or brooklyn, its still new york because its filled with real new yorkers. U going to sit here and say jersey city is more new york than bensonhurst

Jersey city is wanna be NYers?
To your point of your ignorant view maybe. JC is so close to NYC. Just because it has one of the best skyline of its size, and many people have accents, and the older architecture is similar to Nyc makes them wannabes? I don't get how anything decent the Jersey side has NY brings it down in any way shape or form, and its pathetic. JC is its own, it's a friggen hop over the river from NYC, what do you expect? It's own accent, no skyline, and no diversity?
your an idiot.
I'm pretty sure the people born and raised in Jersey City say they're from JC and are fine and dandy with it. It gives them more of a character i think.. meaning, i'm sure everyone experienced meeting the overly proud NYer many many many times, it's nothing special if you havn't noticed.

im not even talking about that. This argument proves my point enough. Dont they have some kinds sign in JC calling it the "sixth borough" lmao. proof is in the pudding
And to LAmexican the reason i got heated because he tried to disrespect the bronx. Dont dis an actual part of nyc, i dont care if its staten island. When you sitting here "looking like half of a wannabe new yorker"

the bronx was also apart of new york county so what are you saying? I understand manhattan is the main attraction, i dont feel sour about it as it is in my city. But the other boroughs have venues that are world class and visited by millions from around the world aswell.
What are some world class venues in Staten Island and Queens? I'm not picking on them--I'm just curious. I like Flushing Meadows Park, Old Richmondtown, and I think a lot of the houses in St. George are gorgeous, but I haven't seen too much in terms of world class venues in either borough. The Bronx and Brooklyn are pretty awesome though.
Queens- mets baseball, museums, corona park host of world fairs, jamaica ave, home to alot of cultural resturantes annd entertainment. Most diverse county in america. Home of the US open
