I mean Manhattan only. I feel that there is more ethnic diversity in the outer boroughs. [ Reply | More ]

no. It's really kind of segregated by neighborhood. There are very few black people in the heavily white neighborhoods. I guess in the lower income neighborhoods it's getting more "diverse" because the white people are seing bargains and moving into traditionally black or latin neighborhoods. it won't be that way for long though, they're be heavily white just like most of the other neighborhoods. That said, if you look at manhattan as a whole, as a single unit, it is incredibly diverse. [ Reply | More ]

But the city is still diverse- if you are traveling on the subway, eating in restaurants, interacting with other city dwellers [ Reply | More ]

I am asking about Manhattan (which is why I wrote that in the post) as I consider each borough to have it's own flavor. [ Reply | More ]

that's a buffer neighborhood. I certainly don't mean anything bad by that at all, I have always lived in buffer neighborhoods, except now that I live in Wash Heights. [ Reply | More ]
