Expanding My Horizons
Since I'm not a native New Yorker, I don't know much about the other boroughs outside of Manhattan.
Yes, it's shameful, I know.
The host lived in a brownstone right off Joralemon Street.
I'd never seen or heard that street name before. What did it mean? Was it a family's name? Was it the name of a founder of Brooklyn? Was it made up?
Why does it have the word "lemon" in it?
How is it pronounced - to emphasize the second syllable (so the first part rhymes with "corral"), or the third (to emphasize "lemon")?
All of these questions have remained unanswered for me.
Apparently, "Joralemon" is slang for an attractive woman found in Brooklyn.
If anyone has any other information, please share!

I hear all the burroughs have their own certain flair and style. How lucky you to be near so many cool things to experience!
I just have to go to all these places in my mind. :) (like the Met Museum.)
Well, that's in Manhattan, yes, of course. But still -- you are lucky. Long Island so close too.
