Not to say that perspectives of areas in Queens and Brooklyn aren&#8217;t lovely, but I prefer the vantage from those boroughs, to gaze upon Manhattan; I like to &#8220;go&#8221; to the City, but not to live there. Or at the very least, I just really love these views! Views that Manhattanites will almost never see because they (sometimes pretentiously) never leave their borough.<\/p>\n<p><a
