we all share the same space brah? do you think anyone from the rest of america has even heard of or cares about little neck, fresh meadow, massapequa, bethpage? most people think nyc is manhattan. no to mention towns on long island are as relevant to nyc as towns in westchester, nnj & southern ct which means nothing..
gimme a break
i hope you live in manhattan to talk trash
Most people can't say anything specific about New Jersey
Your attitude is exactly what I don't like about New Jerseyans, you talk trash about the city and the boros while Brooklyn or Queens are more urban, dense and populous than any city in New Jersey.
No, I live in Brooklyn, still more urban, cultured and populous than any city in New Jersey.

Ha, Ha. Yeah, you want to compare 2,400 strong East Newark or 10,000 strong Gutenberg with 2.5M Brooklyn? Following your thought maybe we should all admire urbanity of Harrison or Hoboken over NYC, San Francisco or Chicago.
No, buddy. I said "No, I live in Brooklyn, still more urban, cultured and populous than any city in New Jersey" and yet you chose to focus on density alone. Unfortunately for you the state of New Jersey does not have a single city over 500K (Brooklyn alone is 2.5M) and the four over 100K - Newark, JC, Elisabeth and Patterson - are not much to look at and not famous for anything. Maybe with an exception of Newark but you can keep that kind of fame to yourselves
These facts alone tell you a lot about the state of New Jersey - in esssence a huge, bland, cultureless subburb.

Most people know about the boroughs i dont know where thoughts of the contrary even come from. The bronx,brooklyn and queens would be top ten city's in the united states if they were independent. New jersey's city's are not on that level so a nyer does not need to live in manhattan.
And as nyers we dont view manhattan through the same lens as ppl outside the city do. This is our home and manhattan is apart of it-
Its like being best friends with a celebrity, everybody on the outside is going to be in awe and amazed. But to you he/she is just a regular person.

funny how you say you don't like NJ'ers talking trash about NY, then you post something like the bolded. pot, meet kettle.
Most likely, the reason that they do that is because they prefer one location (NJ shore) over the other (Jones Beach). That'd be my guess?
On an average July day, I'd venture to say that over 80% of people walking the boardwalk in Seaside Heights, NJ are from NY.
Actually it is more likely that they rented or are staying with someone who owns a house on the Jersey shore. Its that much more $$$ to do that on some Long Island beaches, especially the Hamptons.
Based on my own experience, I am going to back up Mike and Rachael up on this. The overwhealming majority of New Yorkers I have known, and I used to live in the city, usually go to local beaches on Long Island or in the 5 boroughs.
