That could be big topic of discussion. When I grew up in the suburbs, in Nassau County, when we said we are going to the "city," it meant we are going into Manhattan. It depends really on who you are chatting with. Some neighborhoods in NYC are well known are some are not. Flatbush is better known than Windsor Terrace. If I chatting with a non-New Yorker, I would first say I live in Queens, New York. Then if they said to me that they knew part of Queens, then I would say then in Bayside. So it really depends on the other person and what he/she know about NYC. Yes, this is the "BIG APPLE," but they are many "slices" to this big apple.
