: : Us-me - I have to translate this term into Hebrew and I would like to know the excat meaning and usage in American life. The context:
: : "This narcissistic, us-me culture is slowliy starting to understand that they will have to act as a collective on public health to get the vaccines and trained nurses".
: : (Maureen Dowd, New York Times
: : and by saying Midtown New York - is it referred to Manhattan?
: : My very thanks to you all

: Manhattan is an island and comprises one fifth of New York City. It is a boro, with the other boros being Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island and The Bronx.
: People refer to certain areas of Manhattan as being "downtown", "uptown" and "mid-town".
: The streets in Manhattan run east and west and are numbererd sequentially from north to south.
: So 10th Street is "downtown" while 110th Street is "uptown" and anywhere from the high thirties to the high fifties is called "midtown".
: The World Trade Center was located on the island of Manhattan and was way downtown in what is known as the "financial district".
Maybe someone else knows us-me.
I would just be guessing.
