"I live down in the city"
by repthecity December 02, 2004
The City refers to Manhattan OR the five boroughs. If you live in the boroughs, then 'The City' is definately Manhattan. Outside of the boroughs, it can mean the boroughs as a whole or just Manhattan.
Remember: New York City isn't just Manhatten, it's the whole five boroughs (Brooklyn, The Bronx, Queens, Staten Island and Manhattan).

The Bronx is not "the city."
Queens is not "the city."
And Staten Island CERTAINLY is not "the city."
And Long Island isn't even a borough.

Manhattan, but there is an increasing tendency among the younger generation of New Yorkers to refer to all five boroughs as "the city."

"the city" is used by anyone who lives around Chicago to refer to it. If you say "I'm going into Chicago" people will look at you wierd.
