Happy holidays ! Ft. The boroughs & Will/Albany. No text version beneath

So which boroughs are poor and which ones are rich? Do you try to help each other out? Also, this is giving me Great Gatsby vibes.

Manhattan: Well Tony and I are filthy rich! I mean we were always rich, we’re both cities. Well Tony isn’t anymore and he wasn’t always as rich as me. The rest of them are well the usual, kinda poor I guess. Whatever without me, they’d all still be farming. Now they’re all doing construction and what not.

Brooklyn: Was any of that necessary to add?

Staten Island: Oh my god! You’re Mr. Italy right?!

Romano:…uh…sure…

Queens: Should we help him?

The Bronx: With Frank, it’s all souls for themselves.

So yeah, Brooklyn and Manhattan are and were on the more wealthier side than the other boroughs. Up until the turn of the last century, most of the other boroughs with the exception of Manhattan and Brooklyn were mostly farmland. Also duahshs yeah I guess it does have Great Gatsby vibes lol. And everyone who guessed the pose in the opening post, here’s a gold star ⭐️

also howdy I said it before but I’ll say it again, I like @askitaliaromano ‘s hc of Romano working in the US during that period.

Hey boroughs! What are your favorite songs or music pieces?

Manhattan: Loveless Love

Brooklyn: Honeysuckle Rose

Queens: Solidarity Forever

The Bronx: Potato Head Blues

Staten Island: Avalon

Lowkey kinda giving a hint at Andy’s (Queens) political alignment at this time, if you know how this song is used.

Boroughoes at the beach

Just something more light from the past two posts :)

Lynn (Manhattan) just soaks up the sun while practically her feral children the other boroughs sneak up to flip over Tony’s (Brooklyn) floatie.

What neighborhood do they live in?

Lynn (Manhattan) lives in the Upper East Side. xoxo gossip girl here. It’s expensive , the way she likes it.

Tony (Brooklyn, lol I changed his name cause I didn’t like it) lives in Carroll Gardens. He moved there around the 1870s, easier access to New York City.

Rodrigo (The Bronx) lives in Morrisania. He’s lived here since it was the Morris Manor.

Andy (Queens) lives in Elmhurst. He’s moved around a few times, he lived in Flushing for a while, but decided to settle in Elmhurst in the 1950s

Frank (Staten Island) lives in Old Town. This was where the original Dutch settlement in Staten Island was located. It was called Oude Dorp.

Hey, Queens, were you supposed to be named after an actual queen or are you just a queen? *cue Ava's "Kings & Queens"*

Queens, just ignoring that first half by accident: I’m not a queen…are you implying I’m like some sort of queen? Like a drag queen? I don’t really do that, it’s not exactly my style-

The Bronx: Oh my god Perez did you just skip the first half of it.

Queens:…I can fucking read I was just addressing that last part first.

Queens: And yes I’m named after Queen Catherine of Braganza. But I wasn’t always Queens, I was just the town of Vlissingen (modern day Flushing) first and then I like morphed into Queens county then borough.

Queens: And if you need to know one thing about my time as Vlissingen is that the Flushing Remonstrance was published there…after Director Stuyvesant (who also was anti-Semitic, and tired to ban Jewish people from the colony but failed as the Dutch West India company intervened for once on that) banned Quakers from worshipping. Surprisingly, all the signers were just average Dutch citizens, who weren’t even Quakers, demanding that the Quakers should be allowed to worship freely (they all were arrested). And now they actually consider this a precursor to freedom of religion in the United States. Conclusion is, I’m the superior borough cause I influenced the government more-

The other 4 boroughs: *squints*

Queens: *sweats*
