Why did Cuomo perform so well in the Bronx? [View all]

I'm from NYC and the nearest explanation I've heard is that Cuomo directly appealed to labor households, but I don't know if I fully believe that so simply explains the precinct level results (or borough for that matter).

Interestingly, Lander seems to have won districts on the Upper West Side of Manhattan that are also cute and curious. I wonder how voters processed this choice, and how you all think/feel/intuit/perceive?
