NJ is just a poor man's Greenwich, CT for bankers that are too cheap to pay $600/month to commute into NYC. We look at all of those people riding the PATH of NJT into city. Majority of these people have better jobs than those transplants riding the subway from Brooklyn.
Seriously I don't care , we have some of the "Best Food in the World in NJ and ........................we can claim
Springsteen , Nicholson and ...Sinatra, to hell with everyone else!
Ever notice that NJ is the only state in the country that people will say derogatory things about directly to someone from that state? If you do that to someone from any other state, they would become highly offended. I can't imagine saying to someone from Iowa or Kentucky or Idaho or anywhere else..."oh that sucks" after them telling me that they were from there.

Maybe not being mocked, but certainly not being given its due. We just flew back from Europe, arriving in Newark airport EWR. All the announcements on the flight said the flight was to New York. Weather in New York, and so on and so forth. Flight was over 9 hours and never once mentioned Newark or New Jersey.

In the early '30s, Fiorelllo LaGuardia was a US Congressman from NYC, and in those days NYC did not have an airport. However, EWR was already in business and--in effect--served as the airport for NYC, as well as NJ.
On one of LaGuardia's flights home from DC, he noticed that the ticket for his flight to EWR stated "Washington to New York". At EWR, he convened reporters and loudly demanded that the airline transport him to NYC if they didn't want to be accused of consumer fraud. Whether the airline paid for a taxi to transport him to NYC is unknown, but his grandstanding on the issue of NYC's lack of an airport did lead to the building of one in Queens. That facility finally opened in 1939, and--fittingly--it was named in honor of Fiorello LaGuardia.
NJ is an ugly cousin of NY who can't find her own date.
Let’s be realistic here. The only real attraction of NY is the Island of Manhattan. Separate out Manhattan, and where would you rather live? Queens? States Island? Brooklyn? The Bronx? Or Northern NJ?
I would take Northern NJ any day over any of those places.

Central NJ is actually quite nice in many areas, some are going down hill ... I used to live there... but I felt it became unsafe with many illegals coming into a nice quiet beach town. They would rent a house and move in 20 people . I sold my home and I moved to Florida.

I see Springsteen as a big minus.
