So true. The best pizza I ever had in my life was in Atlanta, GA. Its not the water. Most of the water in LI and NJ is polluted anyway.
NYC/LI/NJ pizza used to be all the rage. I find it all sucks now. Large food conglomerates supply most of the pizza places now, with Hormel shelf-stable meats used as meatballs and pepperoni. Grandma Maria isn't making this stuff anymore, a slaughterhouse in NC is sending this stuff to a chemical plant to spray it with preservatives and mix it with soybeans and pink slime. Slap an Italian name on the bag and ship it out.
BHT, BHA, MSG, sodium nitrite, textured soy protein. That's a homemade NY meatball nowadays.
All completely subjective and anecdotal nonsense. Some people think dominoes is the best pizza too...
...I used to think my Mother's English Muffin pizzas were the best.
Nothing wrong with an Irish pizza.
Whatever bread and cheese product are in your fridge, some sauce out of the jar and you're good to go. Slap it all together and toss it in the toaster oven or microwave and yum yum good!
Nj doesnt have 24hr trains into the city so thats one thing in favor of living on LI. Not that ppl take the train into the city late at night/early morning but it’s convenient when you need it. I once had to go into my office @ 2am to deal with a client in China.
Not sure MNR hours. I like Ct a bit more than Nj, I don’t like the whole express/local stuff on their parkways. I always end missing the exit I need
But ... they have wawa so thats something
So *why* would I want to live on Long Island, when NJ & CT is, at the very worst, a lateral move?
At the local level, NJ is run better than her peers on Long Island, and the cost for services is lower. Jersey schools are equal to her LI counterparts, so why should I live on Long Island?
Take Monmouth County, for example: the area is rife with well run parks and open land, and I have access to 12 lanes of highway - the Garden State Parkway. Rush hour in Jersey is a lot shorter than it is on Long Island; I am not bound by bridges in NJ. Employment centers in NJ are far better than her LI counterparts.
I don't mean to be incendiary, but what's so great about Long Island? Why should I want to live there?
Long Island's strengths are her natural beauty and her people. But what ruins the whole thing, is a government that's so expensive, so mismanaged, and, in some jurisdictions, corrupt.
The people who leave Long Island, and there are many, aren't leaving the area because of the Island's natural beauty, her architecture, nor her lack of dining and shopping options.

Majority of the people WILL leave. First. The working class has to go, and then the people here who get paid 150k+ will go as those jobs will leave to cheaper states, but one thing at a time.
Dont bother people here. They will fight till they die broke.

My motto for years has been "even bad pizza is good eatin'."
