 I have lived in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and now live in Queens. 
 We are ALL New Yorkers.  I enjoy sampling everything each of 
 the boroughs has to offer.  And why not?  And I welcome those 
 from other boroughs to Queens restaurants because that means 
 they do more business and are likely to stay around. 
  
 I shop on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn for inexpensive Middle 
 Eastern items, in various Manhattan shops for specialty items, 
 on Arthur Avenue in the Bronx for prosciutto and cheeses at 
 bargain prices, and no one in any of those places gives a tinkers 
 dam where I live.  What nonsense!
