Apparently our education system has failed this countries most precious resource. Well, I'm here to help turn that all around.
1) Manhattan is of course number one. No one would even question that; well, unless maybe they had a team of overpriced lawyers at their disposal.
2) Brooklyn is my favorite and is rightly classified as number two. Not bad, not bad at all. No favoritism. Well, maybe a little. I was raised in these grimy streets.
3) Queens is third, but realistically it should be switched with number 4, that being, the Borough of Bronx. Maybe, just maybe when the amazing Mets were cleaning up in the 80's it was worth the three slot, but sadly those days are long gone. From what I here, they've spent billions to build a house to showcase a carnival show. The entrance fee is is so high that the average Joe has to take out another line of credit to bring his kids here.
4) See above
5) Wisely placed fifth is Staten Island.
Important note: None of these shortcomings, or reverences for that matter, should be attributed to any one particular resident.
And just as everyone is Irish on St. Patricks day, we are all New Yorkers when you come to visit. Please be respectful as you travel through. If someone gives you the finger, in all probability he is just telling you he, or she, has only one minute to make it to work on time - so pretty please, get out of the way.
