People have a tendency to think that if you can afford to live in Manhattan, you must be successful.
The old saying, "If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere..."

Date: July 2nd, 2009 10:42 AM Author: Disturbing orchid locus roast beef I live in Manhattan.
At a pub I frequent in The Village, I often bump into tourists from other states and countries. Most are VERY impressed by the city and in casual conversation ask where I live. When I tell them I live down the street a few blocks away, they typically respond with, "Wow! That must be amazing! I'd kill to live here."
I think most people find Manhattan to be prestigious, and would love to live here for at least a while, but most can not due to the cost and/or family obligations. |

Date: July 2nd, 2009 10:48 AM Author: tan vigorous mental disorder Terrible flame dude. Most Americans don't think manhattan is prestigious. They visit because like vegas, it's one of those places you need to see. They may think NYC is exciting in the generic sense, but they are turned off by the high taxes, low quality of living, ultra liberalism, dirty conditions, outrageous rent, snobbery of the people, etc.
In terms of prestige, palm beach, la jolla, malibu, brentwood, all PWN Manhattan. |

Date: July 2nd, 2009 10:59 AM Author: tan vigorous mental disorder The OP was asking about prestige. And yes, having a home in palm beach or any of the places I mentioned are quite prestigious.
Manhattan is dense and contains people of every socioeconomic level. I don't know why XOXO morons don't get this. |
