Suburban town in New York that shares a border with the Bronx. Parts of it are okay but it gets a bad reputation from the snobs that make up most of
Pelham Manor. Has all kinds of people: annoying very rich people, rich people that aren't annoying (very few), a little annoying rich people, normal people, and, the smallest minority, poor ghetto people that moved from the Bronx and
Mount Vernon. Known for having way too many general stores and pizza places, but for those living on 5th Ave/
Wolfs Lane and Lincoln
Ave it's nice to have a pizza place just 20 steps from your apartment building no matter where you are on those roads. The only fun part of the town is on the border it shares with Mount Vernon and includes the roads mentioned above as the main streets. A shopping area near the place where the Bronx, Pelham, and Mount Vernon meet is a short walk from the New York City subway and Pelham is only about 25 minutes from
midtown Manhattan.
Person 1: You're from Pelham? I'm surprised you don't seem like a stupid rich bastard.
Person 2: I'm not from
Pelham Manor.
Person 1: What?
Person 2: I'm from regular Pelham. You know, the place with Hutch elementary school, too many good pizza places like Luigi's, general stores like Roman's Discount and
Paper Chase, TD Bank, and other stuff?
Person 1: ... that's Pelham? I thought that was in
Mount Vernon near the border!
