Ummm..try New Jersey has the highest per capita wealth of any state (that's right more than NY or CT) And of course, we respect NY, a lot of us go into the city very often, and New Jersey is very classy. We have classic prep towns like Ridgewood and lots of celebrities live in Saddle River, among other towns. Bergen County is among the richest in the country and we may be a suburb, but we're close enough to cities like Hoboken that there's something going on all the time. Plus, we have a whole bunch of NY sports teams playing in NJ, like the Jets, Giants, etc. Please respect New Jersey, we respect you guys.
Most of us who live here think that NJ is a great place to live! Our schools are among the best in the nation, and we have an abundance of fresh air and trees! We're centrally located so we can enjoy the splendor of many states, NY and CT amongst the many.

the most unique city in America that was devastated by Hurricane Katrina and the Bush Administration in August 2005. Has since made great strides in rebuilding and bringing natives back to town. This trying yet successful rebuilding process is made possible by the strength in community spirit shared by many in the city. People are working so hard to rebuild because it's worth it.
Everytime I've gone to New Orleans after the hurricane it just keeps looking better and better. The most hospitable and welcoming city in the world. Great music, food and people.

New Trier is a place unlike anywhere else. Not only do all the girls have kate spade or herve chapelier bags, they have louis vuitton day planners, that rest inside them. If we were to add up the outfit of a typical trevian girl on a "dress down" day, it would cost as much as some people's monthly salaries, probably becasue they needed to spice it up with a few pieces from theri tiffany's jewlery collection. It's also funny how some people think they're ghetto, when in reality they're blasting rap from their $70,000 Range Rover in Kenilworth. It is NOT abnormal to get a Hummer Limo for freshman year Homecoming. Every senior trevian has AT LEAST two friends going to ivy league schools, it's a given. It's definitly a wake up call when you go to college and not everyones daddy works in the sears tower. A rich bitch bubble to say the least.
New Tier kids wear white gowns and white tuxedos to graduation...aka too stuck up for caps and gowns.

A city (not a county) in New Jersey that is located off Exit 9 of the New Jersey Turnpike. Home of Rutgers University, it receives little attention for being the midway point between New York and Philadelphia, but his home to the locally famous grease trucks which have perfected putting an entire meal on one sandwich.
On the way from Philly to New York, I stopped in New Brunswick for a "fat bitch" cause I was starving.

A geographically and culturally diverse east coast state that is often overshadowed by New York and Philly. New Jersey has many appealing tourist spots and is not given the credit that it deserves. There are, however, a few scary places in New Jersey, such as Camden, with the country's highest murder rate, and the Pine Barrens, where a little critter called the Jersey Devil eats helpless and stranded tourists with flat tires on New Jersey's Route 72.

a true new yorker is some one born and raised in new york city or the new york city metropolitan area (within new york state). they are proud and loyal and they understand the true past, present and future of their city.
they are not tourists or people who moved to new york simply because it is the place to be. true new yorkers have known the city and have had new york moments since they were young and so have a deep relationship with the city.
Tony is a real new yorker, he grew up by the old yankee stadium and his parents have a building out in the slope.
