      Ha, it is definitely a local slang. People in outer boroughs will say “I’m going into the city for the day” if they are going into Manhattan, even though all the boroughs are “New York City” and mostly high density

        I miss going out to that far little hamlet of Whitestone Queens and getting a sandwich at Cherry valley.
