Jersey City beyond the waterfront is still Jersey City. Ask someone in the Greeneville section of JC if they are the "6th borough" of New York & take note of their response.

No disrespect, but Newark (East Orange & Irvington too) could care less about being NYC's "6th borough".
With that said, you should nominate Yonkers or LI.

Hoboken not withstanding, NJ respectfully declines.


NY & NJ are independant, but share a sybiosis. We are most certainly linked, but different.

This.......... This is the correct answer.

Bridgeport??!! i went to the UB from 80-82 and tho it was slummish, it didn't seem like NYC at all, even the downtown area and slummish parts

People FROM Hoboken & Jersey City are not fighting for anything.

The Jersey side is world apart from NYC, and I am not saying that to be mean to New Jersey. I think some enjoy the proximity, but that is about it.

maybe because i've lived as many yrs in nyc as i have in jersey, its the closest thing to a borough. especially if you add bergen county like ft lee & cliffside park, palisades park. how is it different from queens?

the ny/nj beef is pure foolishness

westchester aint ****

Oh I agree, I think the Jersey side should function more with NYC, I am just basing it off what I have felt and the people I have met on this side, it just seems like many here have no interest with the New York side, but honestly I think it is important for the Jersey side to have it's own identity that is unique for Jersey.

I think Hudson County in NJ matches the NYC landscape more. It includes Jersey City, Hoboken, Union City and more..
