It's weird that people who live outside of New York refer to New York City as New York, and those of us that live here, call it New York.
That is kind of weird when you stop to think of it. I guess it's got a lot to do with proximity. I live near the Bronx border, and the majority of people here never call New York "New York." Usually we'll say, "I'm going downtown," -which usually means Manhattan - or "I'm going to the Bronx" or Queens or Staten Island or Brooklyn depending on the borough we're heading towards." And when we go back home, we're always headed "uptown."
