My grandparents are from Newark and my great grandparents are from Italy so no not everyone comes from one of the boroughs. Having a cultural impact on surrounding areas isn’t the same thing as saying everyone’s family is a transplant from the city.

Of course. My in laws were second generation and their parents entered the US in Boston. Ironically, they moved to Edison when my father in law got an insane job offer from a large corporation in the Garment district. And Edison was a much nicer place to live in the 70s than Dorchester, Massachusetts. Still is.
