Loading ...Clearly, New York is missing one of its nuts…
I have no idea why Pink Gloves is spending Ramadan in Dubai, but from thousands of miles away she expresses her profound homesickness for NYC. And she offers her appraisal of the five boros and Long Island:
Nu York… I miss home… this morning i woke up crying… They weren’t sad tears per se, but tears of nostalgia. I miss my city…
Brooklyn… remains my favorite borough of the NYC area… maybe my buried placenta keeps me attached… Maybe it is the smell of jerk chicken on Utica Avenue. Maybe it is Kings Plaza Mall where my mother’s water broke…
Queens, ah my darling Queens… My favorite part of Queens? Jamaica Avenue. No, not because of my Jamaican roots. But they have my favorite fish market right there on the corner.
Bronx. eerh, don’t like the Bronx, for reasons that still remain unknown.
Staten Island. The coolest thing about Staten Island in my opinion is the ferry.
If you are looking for a cheap thrill, and cannot afford a cruise or a boat ride, then this works.Manhattan… Small, but seriously overpopulated. Gotta love Prince Street with all the boutiques… Chinatown, the vendor says “u wan Gucheee, come follow me”. I love Macy’s… Blooming“jales”… 59th St. stop on the Lex line. The green line rocks. Gotta love Central Park even if u hate the idea, NY will make u love it. Where else can u go for free concerts?…
Long Island. Nassau to be exact. I miss home… overcrowded Jones Beach in the summertime… the amphitheater… Green Acres Mall… Roosevelt Field Mall
I miss so much about home. Maybe because it is Ramadan in Dubai…
Her friend NY Babe then replies to her in the comments section:
Couldn’t have said it better myself. I LUVVVV New York… I really don’t see myself living anywhere else. Funny just like u I can’t stand the Bronx. Hang in there you’ll be home soon enough.
And her friend Yessie also replies:
Yep girl gotta love NY. For some reason I have something against BX too; when pple ask me to meet them there, I usually respond with “I can’t stand BX” or “I go to the Bronx only once in 2 years” I live in Nassau; used to be a Roosevelt Field Mall junkie until recent times ($$$ issues)… still in love with the beach… Gotta love NY with all its craziness
OK, please allow me to ask, what’s up with all the Bronx-hating, ladies??
Anyway, travel safely, Pink Gloves… At least 4 of the 5 boros miss you!

LOL I’m still trying to figure out why I don’t like the Bronx
Are you people out of your minds!!? Lest you forget the Bronx is the home of one of the world’s best zoos, the Botanical Gardens and Yankee Stadium. Also it’s the birthplace of hip-hop. I grew up there, in the South Bronx (Hoe Ave), then the Mount Eden section. Great people, great food. Hot bed of Latin music (Hunts Point Palace).
How about Pelham Bay Park, Orchard Beach, Van Cortland Park? You people need a refresher course on the Bronx, you need to be guided by someone who actually knows the place. Queens sucks, Brooklyn is cool (I live in Greenpoint). Spent much time with my uncle and cousins in Fort Green. Manhattan is overpriced, and in case no one noticed, in case of emergency you can’t get off the island!!!
Good point ozpunk - Bronx is cool!
