Jersey's got everything. I live in Bergen County, but I'd prefer somewhere more down South. North Jersey is congested in most middle-class areas, whereas in Central Jersey (Morristown, Edison, the Brunswicks) everything is a little more spread out yet everything is conveneint. I pretty much roam a lot of Jersey every week....(work in Paramus, go to college in Newark, and party in New Brunswick on the weekends). A lot of Jersey is ******, but the pros outweigh the cons heavily. The craziest thing I find about Jersey, is in the span of 3 miles you could go from the poorest area to the richest. For example, following Main St in Passiac all the way up to Paramus/Ridgefield/Oradell.

However, once I graduate and get a job, I'm gonna move to NYC as fast as I can lol

Was just at Century 21 @ Bergen Center..place looks totally different..bobby's burgers sucks. white manna FTW i hear you about central/south jersey.. might as well be a different state. after enough time further south though, you get sick of the slower pace, plus northeast jersey just a has a lot more character for better or worse, much derived from the faster pace and general intensity.

was this chick wearing a scrunchy? Jersey rules! you can still go to Willowbrook Mall and buy capezios and a B.U.M. sweatshirt. Patterson is not the only NYer official to diss Jersey to paraphrase Giulliani, 'my Italian immigrant father never intended to go to New Jersey'

Just saying "Jersey" brings on feelings of nescience, inadequateness (that's a word right?), and outright shame.

My father lives in "Jersey." I will not visit for that very reason.

Maybe you have feelings of inadequateness because you are just, well, inadequate. It probably has nothing to do with Jersey.

White manna is mediocre at best. I would rather got to the Five Guys down the street than be cramped in that little shack that only seats 6 with 20 people above fire code inside. inside.

I remember a deli in my town decided to make mini burgers like white manna and put them to shame. We used to eat them like three times a week in high school. I should get them again sometime soon...

I mean have you guys never seen "My New Haircut" Or "The Return Of The Broski". If not just search either of those names on youtube, I mean 25 million hits does not lie. I mean Jersey nightlife Is filled with what we call Guidos. I'm sure you know what that term is. I am aware that not everyone is like that, but it is specific to that location and quite frankly makes it that group a laughing stock. I'm sure your better, but realize that a guido is not just an Italian tanning jacked up douche. Never be to full of yourself. ~Derek

They bump into NYC locals in the subway, then yell at them.
