	The Five Boroughs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Five Boroughs is phrase used to denote the five boroughs of New York City.
		It is used to unambiguously refer to the city as a whole, as opposed to any particular borough or to the greater metropolitan area.
		The term "New York" itself is often taken to refer to the State of New York, including the Five Boroughs and "The Island" (Long Island), whereas "Upstate New York" never includes New York City or Long Island, and usually does not include the areas just north of The Bronx.

		The borough of Brooklyn comprises the territory of Kings County.
		The Five Dutch Towns also constituted an ecclesiastical society, and joined in the support of their ministers until the collegiate system was abolished about the end of the eighteenth century.

		To the 5 Boroughs, the Beastie Boys' first LP in six years, is a thunderous return to form.

	The Doo-Wop Society of Southern California: Show #45 (11/13/2004)
		The show featured the Five Boroughs - okay, there were six of them: Eddie Pardocchi (Five Discs), Bruce Goldie (Dreamers), Dave Strum (Excellents), Jimmy De La Rosa (Street Corner Memories), John Sorrentino, and Frank Iovino (Bob Knight Four) - the group "boss," with his energetic lead, tireless rapport with the audience, and more-than-occasionally nasty mouth.
		This was the Borough’s third appearance at the DWS, and if Frank got out of hand and took particular joy in driving DWS President Phyllis Bardone up a wall with his antics, he probably knew that he could get away with it, considering the quality of the performance and everyone’s overall lovableness.
		The Five Boroughs Band - Earl Catron on horns, Victor Giardino on guitar, Joe Costadiera on drums, Tim Myer on bass and Steve Bzyczek on keyboards - played a thrilling version of "Harlem Nocturne" in the style of the Viscounts, and one of "Sleepwalk" that cried out for a dance floor.

		But the one big thing that The Five Boroughs have going for them is their solid professionalism, gained from two decades of performing steadily together.

	indielondon.co.uk - music - Beastie Boys, To The Five Boroughs
		Having been forced to watch as Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11 made cinema history by becoming the highest-grossing documentary of all-time, the US president is now ‘taking shit’ from The Beastie Boys, the no-less controversial hip-hoppers, who have a penchant for telling it like they see it.
		And where once they were fighting for their right to party, they now seem content to fight to be heard, having become intolerant of the political situation in a battle-scarred America.
		To The Five Boroughs may possess an air of familiarity about it, and the novelty value of the Boys may have diminished, but it remains an excellent album - and one which emphasis the gulf between the all-time hip-hop elite, and those who continue to strive for success by opting for cheap shock tactics.
