For those who are wondering: locals say "Koss-ee-OSS-ko", I would prefer Kuh-SHOOS-ko.

I have been pronouncing it the same way 1010WINS pronounces it. Traffic updates decades before Waze!

My wife and I have fun times pronouncing it. I swear each time we pronounce the name it sounds a bit different from how we previously pronounced it. It usually sounds like a variant of the latter way you stated however

I've lived in Brooklyn for 20 years and the most common pronunciation I've heard is something like Kos-ku-sko.
Go figure.

I was wondering indeed. It's not an easy polish name but always funny to see what happens to them in the US.

I've personally only heard the latter!
