It’s really neighborhoody, which is nice in terms of morale; there’s something great to be said for going to work in an area where you can actually enjoy taking a stroll during an afternoon break, or have a leisurely outdoor lunch, as opposed to bumping into a thousand people while walking down just one city block.

I've known Jeff forever, since he was a bartender at Claddagh's back in my younger, crazier days and now he's the proprietor of Elliott's Pour House, a very nice, very neighborhoody bar in Canton.

Still, I try to fit in: opting for a hotel on a neighborhoody street on upper Broadway (the room edges out my old apartment for square footage), taking subways (embarrassingly slow with a MetroCard), except when I don't (barking out unsure routes to cab drivers).

We need a great bookstore right here in Greenpoint with a café, a bookstore with a neighborhoody feel where people can hang out and sit in armchairs, drink a cup of tea, attend low-key readings.

Greenpoint is neighborhoody – but not in a small-town way, in a big-city, multicultural, mind-your-own-business way.

It wasn't a super-neighborhoody, hang-out-on-the-street-with-all-the-kids kind of neighborhood for one thing, there were apartments at the end of the street, but a bunch of the families knew each other, well, forever.
