***You think you can get a good corn beef sand in NYC? Try Cleveland. 100 times better.***

To me there’s only one thing that can’t be improved on from New York City, and that’s a bagel.

We have one place here where they come as close as I’ve ever seen, but still not as good as the ones you get in the City (or Long Island).

There must be something unique to the area, like the humidity or air pressure, or something.

“To me there’s only one thing that can’t be improved on from New York City, and that’s a bagel.”

Living in Northeast PA the thing I miss most is finding a decent loaf of Italian bread. I’ve tried all the local bakery’s and even some that are 50 miles away. All thin crust, airy dough GARBAGE.

Ahhh, the bread is always amazing!

I’ll never forget my first deli sandwich, which was on Long Island. After college graduation, my husband (then boyfriend) and I took a trip to visit his family and friends to celebrate before starting our first “real” jobs. His best friend’s family owned a deli. He made me the best turkey sandwich I’ve ever had, and I’m fairly certain he used Italian bread. It was heavenly!

That was 38 years ago, and I still remember the taste of the turkey and texture of the bread. It was soft on the inside, and crunchy but not thin on the crust. Delightful. And I remember my husband’s best friend’s smiling, cheerful face, the first time we had ever met in person. Rest In Peace, Chris, you were a good man and are missed.

Kind of humorous the title of the article includes the term “nuclear option.” That move is more like a faint, distant pop of a plastic bag.

My daughter an SIL recently moved to southern Jersey. I’ve never seen so many American flags or Trump signs on display anywhere, even in the Midwest. It’s like Maryland, where 90% of the population (overwhelmingly communist) lives in 10% of the space, and ruins everything for everyone normal.

New Jersey is beautiful all over. 127 miles of coast land, mountains in Warren county(High Point) Brigantine to the south and we are rich in Revolutionary War history.

Great photos. They’re not conservatives so much as Neanderthals.

I wore my snobbery like a coat of armor.

So, nothing has changed. The author went to Harvard, you know.

Q. Why does New York have all the crooked politicians and New Jersey have all the toxic waste dumps?

A. Because New Jersey got to pick first.

Hey- wait a minute...I’m in Jersey and we’re full. No more room! Especially for those whose unfortunate voting habits ruined NYC!

Some counties in the state are solid Republican, and much of NJ is a lot more desirable than NYC these days.

Refugees fleeing New York have rendered our once-reliably-red county purple over the past couple of election cycles.

"...Can you imagine having this insufferable snob move next door?..."


Agreed! It would be brutal having her as a neighbor.
One can feel her arrogance dripping out of that article.
