would you write New York, NY, or would you use the name of the borough you were born in.
My dad and I were both born in the Bronx, although I never lived there.
I always list my place of birth as New York, NY and my dad always writes Bronx, NY. He says that only people born in Manhattan should write New York, NY. At first I thought that he was associating the mailing address with place of birth, but he says it's not that. He says people who grow up in NYC wouldn't list their birthplace as New York, NY unless they were born in Manhattan.
Maybe it's a matter of hometown pride for him?
So, what do others born in NYC do?
