Born in Manhattan. Went to kindergarten in the village before my parents got tired of driving me there from SI and then went to public school in SI until I was in 4th grade.

Moved to Jersey after that, but still had a ton of family all over SI/BK/Manhattan so I would be back in the city a ton....

Went to college and am now working in Philly in my mid 20's and it's so hard to get a decent slice :lol:

Stuck around a bunch of "processors". Some are cool fans though and actually admire the Knicks tanking effort but they can be an unbearable fanbase at times. Philly is nothing like NYC though... don't let them ever fool you.

Not at all

My town has more cows than people, and I'm so far out that I can't get delivery, I gotta get take out

But on the plus side, lots of privacy. Only one side of my house has a neighbor, and you can't even see them in the summer cause of the trees

There's a really good art "exhibit" in West Philly. It's on the side of buildings running both sides of major ave.

And yes, Philly is nothing like NYC.

This has me thinking...imagine if the Knicks offered a night for *real* New Yorkers. The ones who understand the culture and the pulse of the other 4 boroughs - not just Manhattan - and called it NYC NIGHT.

• You need to show your birth certificate to get in on NYC Night. :lol:

• Or you need to pass a "growing up in NYC" trivia to be able to get in on NYC Night. :lol:

You've been killing this board homie... I love the NYC night idea...

I was technically born in Manhattan but the family lived on Jefferson Ave in Bed sty. We moved to flatbush, to park slope,
to queens, to coney island projects and finally to a house(where i grew up) in the 50's of east flatbush; next to the 90's where Bobby Shmurder and his crew are from-for those that dont know the area.

I remember playing punch ball, stick ball, climbing houses, garages, buildings, building bikes and exploring
all of Brooklyn.

MSG needs a night of ruckas and pure intimidation for the other team and there fans. There was a time where you would
not dare cheer for your team on the road.

I think every borough has games that are special to their respective borough. We played stick ball, man hunt, hooped from afternoon until the lights went on and your mother was calling your name down the block.

Here's a good example, there's only one acceptable answer for what this is. It's a two word answer, it should be quite obvious for anyone.

Born in Bensonhurst, grew up in Midwood, went to college in the Bronx, lived in the Bronx and Brooklyn in my young adult years, then spent my middle years in Jackson Heights, Queens, and now back in the Midwood section of Brooklyn for the past 15 years. But I keep threatening to go west - and will probably finally do it next year.
