Working at a startup in NYC I have to disagree with pg as well. I think if anything the vibe is "i am more hip than you are". The place where the vibe is "i have more money than you do" is in Westchester, NY - where all the wall streeters live. They commute in and out, and take all their money to build big homes on the water up there. That has been true since the mid 1800s. The people who are actually into the culture of the city are in the small apartments in Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and even within Manhattan.

The hip thing is definitely true but I think it depends on age.

That is true, I am 21 and I don't work near wall street, so all the people I come in contact with are more artsy than finance major.
