At some point in my lifetime I'll be able to say Scranton, Pennsylvania! The NYC MSA is now into the Poconos and continues to loom closer to us like a hungry, hungry hippo!
I really dig Weehawken too, seems like a down-to-earth little city.
Some parts of Newark are way too crime-infested to get my vote, but the city itself is amazing.

This is kind of biased. There really are only a few cities in the NYC metro area, but they're mostly in NJ. There aren't any "cities" on Long Island or in Orange/Rockland county. Poughkeepsie is the closest one, but that's still pretty far away. There's Yonkers and White Plains in Westchester, but that's about it.

By the way, I think Brick NJ was chosen as a best town in the US several times... Is this still in NY metro?

lol Newark???
I'd choose Yonkers. This thread should say towns and cities, not just cities. You rule out like 90% of the NY metro area. My favorite towns would be Levittown and Smithtown
