Grammar
Is/Are Noun Agreement
Are either of these sentences correct?
"The best thing about the city is the neighborhoods."
"The best thing about the city are the neighborhoods."
I've heard people use both, but the second sounds weird to me, so I feel like the first is better. However, I'm not sure if noun and verb disagreement is incorrect in both cases.
Thanks in advance for you help!

Yes, the first is the grammatically correct version : S (thing) - V (is). However, either might well be said.
