Crazy thing is that this is like only half of New York City, south of 34th street. Basically all of midtown is north of this with some of the most impressive buildings and density. Nevermind uptown, the Bronx, and Queens. Unless I'm missing someway to look north.

"This is like only half of Manhattan, one of 5 city boroughs" would be more accurate

Though to be fair, most people _do_ associate Manhattan with NYC

When you’re in Brooklyn, you still say “going in to the city” to mean Manhattan.

I live in Brooklyn and I just say I'm going to Manhattan if I am going to Manhattan.

having lived in queens for long time, I agree, I usually would say Manhattan though, tbh, I'd sometimes make fun of someone and just say "the big city" when they are reluctant to go into manhattan for whatever reason

Born and raised in Manhattan. Live in Brooklyn. When I’m returning home I say I’m “going back to the city”. When I’m in Brooklyn going to Manhattan I say “going into the city”.

Live in Brooklyn, can confirm. I don't like it, but this is how people talk about Manhattan.
