What is Staten Island like today? Isn't it around 30-40% Italian today? That's pretty crazy for it being a whole borough and having that big of an Italian population.
But Staten Island is the PERFECT example, Nicky Boy. Staten Island, while technically one of the Five Boroughs, is very suburban. It's MUCH more like North Jersey in feeling than it is like the other boroughs.
Italians move to the suburbs today. Staten Island = The Suburbs .
