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.

Kalbahamut: There is NO "Meat Packers" district in NYC. You must be thinking of some other state.

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.

Thanks. (Seriously, thanks), I had no idea of the "meat packers" district. The joke is on me!

That's what I tried first--surprised it didn't work, and then I had to think of the neighborhood outside the park.

20/21 because all I could think of for a Brooklyn neighborhood with hipsters was Bushwick. It's my own brain fart, but should we all agree that most all of Brooklyn now has hipsters?

As a longtime Queensman, I hadn't heard that about Jackson Heights. I'd always heard that it was neighboring Elmhurst, more recently taken over by Astoria.

This might be a difference between national backgrounds vs. linguistic backgrounds.

Nothing in The Bronx or Staten Island?

No Staten Island neighborhoods of note that I can think of. The Bronx has Riverdale, Woodlawn, and Rose Hill, but those probably aren't fair game for people not from the New York area.

Thanks for adding the type-ins UWS and Corona. Now we need to get all JetPunk quizzes to accept ESB for the Empire State Building! :)
