Where is New York's 6th Borough (best, state, better, Boston)

[NoClueWho]

Boston...lol.

I'm kidding, but I was surprised at the amount of expat New Yorkers that Boston has. Especially for there to be such a huge and storied rivalry between New York and Boston.

I'd vote for Bergen County, NJ as NYC's sixth unofficial borough.

Several places have been referred to as New York's 6th borough, both in serious context and I assume jokingly as well.

Miami has been called New York's 6th borough:
New Yorkers Continue to Migrate to Miami (Sometimes referred to as the Sixth Borough) - Tenzer Realty Inc. and Associates Miami Real Estate

Atlanta has been called New York's 7th borough:
Atlanta: Seventh Borough? Or Circle of Hell? -- NYMag

In fact Miami has been called New York's 6th borough so many times that all I had to type into Google Search bar to find an article about it was "Miami the 6th..." and the autofill automatically found the phrase since its entered on Google so many times and searched it for me.

^ I like the Miami one. According to this article, Miami was first called the sixth borough in the media as far back as 1972.

Though in this day in age, North Jersey could probably make a pretty good case.

Buffalo. As the western end of the Erie Canal it basically developed as a western outpost of the Port of New York and historically has much more to do with New York City than most parts of the New York Metro.

Combine the NJ PATH subway into the NYC MTA subway, and Hudson County would make a great 6th borough! It would be a better borough than Staten Island for sure...
