A style of clothing typically worn by young adults who usually live in the city. However, someone who doesn't live in the city may have a "city style." Most clothes categorized as city include, torn up jeans, slouchy boots, button-down shirts, hats (such as berets), a lot of dangly jewelry. Most color tones include, black, silver, grey, navy blue (mostly darker colors). Also many city people are more artsy and would usually be seen by themselves in a coffee shop reading a book or typing on a laptop. They are witty, but also very quiet when talking to other people. They also portray haircuts such as short, choppy hair.

Short for New York City. Since New York is the only real city in America, it can be referred to with a capital "C".
If used within the 5 buroughs it typically means Manhattan. If outside the 5 buroughs, it refers to any of the 5 buroughs or all of them collectively.

At 11 o'clock, take the 2 train into Times Square. We're going to party in the City tonight.
(Anywhere else)
This place sucks. I can't wait to get back to the City and hit up a bodega at 4am for some forties.

I guess if you live in or around a city, to you that is THE city. And where I live, the Bay Area, San Francisco is THE city. Not Oakland, not San Jose, not Foster City (even though it has "city" in its name), but San Francisco. And no one I know here calls it "Frisco"
Guy 1: hey I'm going into the city this Saturday, wanna come?

Guy 2: you could have been talking about San Jose...

obviously, many people call their respective cities "the city" but there is only one CITY: Manhattan.
Brooklyn is not the city, Queens is not the city, the Bronx is not the city & Staten Island is NOT the city.
Only Manhattan is the City.
It is the greatest city on earth.
New York City is the City.

We're going to the City tomorrow, are you coming?
She lives in the City? I thought she lived in Brooklyn.

A city is a place of life, the center of humanity, a metropolis of ideas, a home of traditions and cultures, it is a place where people can make their future.
