I found it interesting how you chose to identify the edges of a neighborhood in NYC--that there are many structure that can help define the edges for a person, but ultimately how the neighborhood is defined is up to the person. I live in rural central Massachusetts where I find that there aren't structures to give neighborhoods clear definition. In my head the edges of my neighborhood feather out rather than abruptly stopping. I do agree that what the neighborhood is, is often defined person to person. I think this is especially true in places where development was not planned to necessarily create a neighborhood, rather development was more building by building.
