If you are heading north, maybe you are headed up to the Catskills or the Adirondacks for a weekend getaway, or perhaps you're going to the city for some entertainment.
Or maybe you're just a big baby whining about traffic and cemetaries. Oh the horror. Sad so many people have such negative attitudes about life.
"Well, if you're heading south, you could like it if you're on your way to the shore, or maybe to red bank to catch a band and some dinner, or even going all the way down to cape may to eat lunch on the beach and watch the dolphins swimming around.

Nice Try, Won't Work.
Yeah, what you point out is true. But how is it cool to go to Manhattan when it takes 4 hours to go the 12 miles?
I live in lowly, 30th place PA. I go to my favorite place, 45 miles away. It takes about 25 minutes. I only have to dodge an Amish buggy or two on the way.
Jersey Shore? I'll pass.
I've never wanted to live 2 hours from a list of interesting places. I don't have 4 spare hours to roundtrip somewhere.
I live and work and play and am raising my family on Manhattan Island, where I am *minutes* by *foot* from the finest cultural / dining / entertainment experiences on the planet.
Yes, it is frightfully expensive, and a tax/nannystate nightmare, but we all make tradeoffs.
The view of the Turnpike is awesome. And the menfolk wear their shellsuits with such grace and elegance.
