Interboroughphobia

When a New Yorker is scared or unwilling to travel to another borough of the city just because they perceive it to be further than it actually is.

These people will travel further distances with longer travel times just because its in their borough.

Jane is not coming to the party because its in Manhattan, even though its only 3 miles and 20 minutes away from her house in Brooklyn. She must have Interboroughphobia.

New York breeze

When the subway arrives and blows a gust of wind your face.

This can be quite refreshing on a summer day but nasty at the same time because the subway is the home of rats, trash, and disease.

Here comes the Q train. Stand back so you don’t get pushed on the tracks. But stand close enough to get that New York breeze.
