The Bensonhurst frum community is more insular. It helps to be a Bais hatalmud-nik to feel comfortable. The community is small & confined to a small radius. Kensington is less concerned with “keeping up with Jones'”. They are less gashmius-oriented & in general, more open to new faces & non-judgmental interaction. BoroPark is intensely frum, but sometimes in too competitive a way & with skewed priorities. Flatbush is the most mixed-bag-ish. Wherever you go you can find your niche, but the niches don’t necessarily mix with each other.
