New York City consists of how many boroughs?
With a skyline that's recognizable worldwide and more than 8.3 million people from all corners of the globe who call it home, New York City is a one-of-a-kind destination. Each of the five boroughs has its own distinctive flavor, while individual neighborhoods, streets and even single blocks maintain identities all their own. Whether it's your first visit or your hundredth, there's always something new to see and do. From world-class dining to shopping to nightlife to culture, New York City's streets pulsate with an unmistakable rhythm that attracts more than 50 million visitors annually.
The five boroughs are The Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island.

Evelyn Forbes, That's not the English spelling. Or the US spelling. It is THE spelling. Try Googling Boro and see how far it gets you.

I didn't even get a chance to answer. The answer just popped up and it was wrong. Dang, y'all. I hate it when that happens.

Rusty Zahn, not really. Looks like just about 60%, according to the graph.

Angel Attanasio, According to the song,"The Bronx is up and the bowery's down," so I'd guess that it's somewhere south of the Bronx. But don't listen to me. I live in L.A. and have been to NY just once, for 3 days.

Angel Attanasio,
It's not a borough.
It's a street and neighborhood in the borough of Manhattan/Manhattan Island, as others have said.
From Wikipedia's entry:
"The Bowery (/ˈbaʊəri/) is a street and neighborhood in the southern portion of the New York City borough of Manhattan.
The street runs from Chatham Square at Park Row, Worth Street, and Mott Street in the south to Cooper Square at 4th Street in the north.
The eponymous neighborhood runs roughly from the Bowery east to Allen Street and First Avenue, and from Canal Street north to Cooper Square/East Fourth Street.
To the south is Chinatown, to the east are the Lower East Side and the East Village, and to the west are Little Italy and NoHo.
It has historically been considered a part of the Lower East Side."

Hug Br, I am originally from New York, and I've never heard of "Kings." Also, you were so rude in the way you asserted yourself that you really don't deserve an answer. Please be more civil, next time.

Hug Br, ACTUALLY YOU"RE WRONG. Kings is the COUNTY name for Brooklyn. Brooklyn is the borough name!!!

As the population of NYC continues to burgeon, you'll probably see more boroughs. I'm writing a story set in the 30th Century where Harlem and Flushing Meadows split from Manhattan and Queens.
