But the rest is really spot on. Queens is where people go to be isolated from the rest of NYC socially, to put it kindly, and that's the Valley to a T. Westside has all the Fun Shit but nobody outside it wants to go there and back, so that's Manhattan.

Los Feliz/Atwater is more accessible for that but also hipsters, so Brooklyn works. If there were a way to define a borough here without it being contiguous, I'd put Downtown LA in "Staten Island" too, but that's my own bias god, downtown sucked) and I know parts of it merit it being in "Brooklyn".
