  MAN: You're probably one of those women who doesn't like to give out her number.
  
  ELAINE: No, I'm not. Here you go.
  
  MAN: 646?
  
  ELAINE: It's a new area code.
  
  MAN: What area? New Jersey?
  
  ELAINE: No, no. It's right here in the city. It's the same as 212. They just multiplied it by 3, and then they added one to the middle number. It's the same.
  
  MAN: Do I have to dial a one first?
  
  (Elaine nods and the man crumples up her number.)
  
  MAN: I'm really kinda seein' somebody.
  
  ELAINE: Yeah? Well, so am I!

Yes, except in LA it is the opposite:

Unlike Manhattan's 646 overlay, when 310 was introduced it immediately became more desirable than the older 213 because of its connection with the affluence of Beverly Hills, Malibu and other parts of West Los Angeles.

323 has less history
