New Neighborhood Names That Will Never Catch On
The Daily News has a roundup of new neighborhood names that real estate brokers have been pushing in an effort to make the areas seem more hip, such as BoHo (Bowery below Houston Street), BoCoCa (the border of Boerum Hill, Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens), and GoCaGa (Gowanus and Carroll Gardens). None of them have caught on yet and probably never will so if you use them in conversation, you'll probably come off sounding pretty stupid (and may get mistaken for a desperate real estate broker). But feel free to take your chances. [NYDN]
