No, it's not! It runs roughly from the area around 14th/19th Streets between 9th Avenue and the Hudson River.

You're thinking of the Meatpacking District. I'm talking about the Meat Packer's district. Different things.

In just a few more years the "Hipster" question will also include Bushwick, Greenpoint, Fort Green, Bed-Stuy and pretty much all points beyond. Dug the the quiz though.

This may shock you but people outside of NYC don't know a whole lot about the neighborhoods... because we don't need to. Literally ever.

Tribeca = TRIangle BElow CAnal (Street)

Nolita = NOrth of LITtle ItAly

Soho = SOuth of HOuston (Street)

DUMBO = Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass!

Leave it to the Real Estate hawkers to rename your neighborhood in order to bring the big-bucks from naive newcomers.

Jerry Seinfeld grew up on Long Island, in Massapequa. Perhaps it would be better to say the character Jerry Seinfeld because the real person lived on Long Island.

But Long Island isnt part of NYC and thus Massapequa isnt a NYC neighborhood. SO the question is fine as asked.

Its a joke. Get over it already. "Meat Packers" is a derogatory term for gay men. Village... ipso facto... if you dont get it by now then forget it.

This is not a complaint. I just wanted to comment that Brooklyn has a China Town (8 Ave main shopping street) that I think by now is at least as large as the one in Manhattan.

Also, I heard that an old Italian woman was evicted from her apartment in Little Italy in order to turn the building into a museum dedicated to the history of Little Italy. I'm not sure if that is the truth or an urban legend.

Stranger things have happened, so I wouldn't dismiss the story out of hand. The things we do to our elderly is shameful, to say the least.

The busiest pedestrian intersection in New York is in Shibuya, Japan. Makes sense. On a quiz titled "Largest Cities in Europe", would you comment that the largest city is actually Tokyo?
