VT and NH are definitely New England. (Not to stray too far OT).
I suppose the eastern half of Long Island might have more in common with New England than anything else. It reaches up towards CT, RI and MA pretty far and it is pretty ambiguous where New England begins. I guess once you get far enough north and east of the NYC metro area.
I think its totally fair to call eastern long island "southern new england." It is just a completely different place from nassau county and western suffolk. As people have noted, the east end was settled by english who arrived from new england and has more in common with those early new england settlements. When you talk to locals who live on the east end they speak about going "up island" as if they are going to a different state. You can feel the change as you drive east . . . the radio stations change, the weather is just a bit different.
Yeah, I guess the homes look a bit poorer and such. But I just think of all of the the other stuff. The way those two states light up in the month of October with the fall foliage, and the white steeple church like towns in Vermont, and towns in New Hampshire like "Meredith", and the tiny house covered bridges...
I always had a thing for NH. A few years back I was looking for a vacation home there but the better half talked me out of it. I still think it's beautiful there.

Portsmouth is probably my favorite place. It's beautiful up by North Conway, or Bretton Woods in the town of Carroll (where the Mount Washington COG Railway is) too.
Jaws is based on a story from New Jersey and is actually about a Bull Shark, not a great white. Obviously the story was altered when they turned it into a movie.

Actually a combo. The shark attacks in NJ and Frank Mundus of Montalk.

New England has far less condos or mutil family dwellings as connie kepert would say.
