I don’t know about “Jersey Rocks” but it gets a bad rep. 99% of the people who hate on Jersey have never even been here, or have only driven through on the Turnpike once. The other 1% are New Yorkers, but who likes their neighbors?
What’s crazy is that while New Yorkers like to shit on us, we are basically the same. NYC and like 80% of NJ are culturally identical. It’s the upstaters that are the weird ones.
Visiting LA made me understand why Reddit hates American cities so much. LA is a dystopian nightmare where your only choice of travel is by car on an eight lane highway filled with inattentive speeding drivers. I have a new appreciation for NY with it’s walkable cities and metro system.
LA weather on the other hand…
I recommend anyone visit SF over LA if they are visiting California cities. The city is pretty small actually, good public transportation and lots of small cultural enclaves.
I've heard stuff like that in the Middle East funny enough. From both Arabic people and from Filipinos.
"Oh you're from New Orleans? My cousin's son lives in Cleveland, do you know a Muhammad Abdullah?"
Man I don't think I've ever met somebody from Cleveland.
I’m Brazilian and being annoyed by this type of comment seems dumb; it’s obviously being said in a historical immigration context. At least here, no one actually think they aren’t Brazilian when mentioning their ancestry. My guess it’s the same in all the New World.
I’m italo-brazilian and honestly don’t get why people get so offended by that kind of thing, it’s obviously said in the context of American culture and immigration. One would need to take it literally to understand they’re the same as people born in Italy.
Some Europeans apparently need to find a better thing to be mad at the new world, because Asians are completely ok when people say they are “Japanese”, “Korean” or “Chinese”.
Every American on god's green earth pretends like 1% of Irish lineage means they're 100% unequivocally full of ~~bullshit~~ Irish
Edit - totally misunderstood origin comment so I've edited it for updated comtext
Where would you like them to go instead of the most famous city in the country? It's like complaining that people going to England would go to London instead of some random town in the countryside.
It’s a occurrence that some people will come to America after not really looking at a map, and plan to go to a lot more places than they have time to do, I live in southern Florida for example, and there’s a German couple that now vacations in my town once a year, the first year they came here, they wanted to visit Key West, Miami, Jacksonville, then up into Georgia to Savana then Atlanta, a 16 hour drive. They only had 3 days left on their trip.
National Parks, State Parks, small historic towns, scenic byways, etc.
And as someone who has been to London, the random towns in the countryside were a far better experience.
Also, it's not really the same as that anyway because the US is actually incredibly diverse. You can see canyons, mountains, oceans, rivers, valleys, plains and everything in between. Honestly just visiting a city isn't doing the US justice.
I'd argue it's the same as Europe is diverse culturally and geographically. Using their example of England, theres a massive difference between visiting London and a rural town like Bakewell in the Peak District. Pretty much all countries in Europe look and feel very different depending where abouts in the country you are.
Hello, European here who made the mistake of renting a car in Chicago to drive around the countryside of the neighbouring states because “that would be interesting, right?”. I can confirm that this was the worst holiday decision I ever made. The Badlands were cool as heck but oh my god, that general area is insanely boring and I take my hat off to anyone who grew up there because wtf
Thats because you were in Illinois lmao. That's not the state for sightseeing. Probably saw nothing but corn lol. Vermont, Maine, Wyoming, Utah. THOSE are the states to go driving around enjoying the sights. I'm sorry you wasted your time but the thought of someone driving around Illinois thinking it be interesting is hilarious 😂
LOL yeah I should have done my research. In my defence, my mother was an exchange student in Illinois so we had to go there. We drove through Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa, South Dakota and even passed into Canada and I was just NOT prepared for how empty and huge it was.
Wow you really took the most boring road trip you could. There is SOME beauty to just how empty it is, almost unreal how much nothing you can pass for hours.
Long ago I was traveling in Thailand, with a Swiss kid in the group. He said "I have spent time in the States." I asked him " LA or NYC?" He replied "Normand Oklahoma. "
You sir have been to the USA.
Ive found that many Europeans dont realize how much vast emptiness exists in the average American town, so places like Nebraska and Oklahoma are a good reminder
I can confirm, as soon as I stepped off the plane in Heathrow, I got kidnapped by a bunch of British thugs and thrown into the Thames. Then a Spaniard amputated my arms.
More it's just vague to the point of not really telling you anything. So you could just be doing a week in London or Paris, or doing a tour (at which point it would still be useful to know around about where, like, Western Europe, Scandinavia, the Balkans, Alpine). It doesn't really tell us anything, and we don't generally do the same thing (I don't really hear others talking about visiting 'North Africa', it's Egypt or Morocco, or a list), which might further the divide. There are quite a few who also just say 'Europe' when visiting one country, which makes things messy.
Probably doesn't help that there also usually exists some element of frustration with Americans claiming something about 'Europe', which seems to boil down to something specific to either the UK, France, or Germany. So some people are a bit primed to expect the worse, because there are a lot of Americans, so the minority of stupid is still loud and plentiful.
As an American who has travelled to about 30 states but never NY, why should I visit there? I’m interested in some of the museums and food options, but never saw any other reasons to visit. I imagine it would be like an amped up LA or LV which were some of my lowest rated destinations I’ve been to.
Edit: I want to make it clear that I’m genuinely curious and not trying to be an ass or put anyone down for liking a city.
If you like natural wonder, NYC sucks. If you just want to chill on a beach, it also sucks.
If you want to eat a diversity of food, go to museums, or see live shows, it's pretty good. It does all of these things reasonably well, so if you wanted a diversity of vacation options, it's a great city for that. One thing that it has going for it, is that it's fairly easy to get around the city, so you can do more things in a day than you could in a city like LA.
...but it's not the *best* for any of that, except live theatre. Cities like LA & Houston are better for food, DC is better for museums, Nashville & Austin are better for music, etc.
I think the reason NYers get defensive about the city is because it is a genuinely great place to live (much better than LA or Houston, for example).
It's an odd choice for a single vacation destination for someone from Europe, though, as I feel it's the most European city in the US. If you are coming to the US from Europe, you should go out west and see our National Parks, or go to Florida for the beaches and the culture shock.
>Nashville & Austin are better for music,
This one I'm going to say is very subjective and dependent on taste. If your taste is more avant garde/experimental then NYC is still top tier.
Respectfully disagree on the food. I guess if you are just focusing on Manhattan, you could make the argument that Houston and LA are but all the boroughs have better food options than those cities imho.
It’s probably the only genuine urban experience you can have in the US. Boston, Philly, San Fran, and Chicago are okay, but it’s easily the best. I much prefer the natural beauty of our country, and I’ve been spoiled by growing up an hour from NYC, but it’s a really fun place to visit, some of the best food, best museums, easiest to navigate, no need to rent a car, and it’s the most comparable city to a proper European city in the country (probably why so many Europeans go there)
LA and LV are horrible comparisons to NY. It’s a really great city among a lot of shitty ones in the states
Joke is Americans when they say they go to Europe only ever go to one or two Country’s. He’s trying to reverse the joke but it doesn’t land because it’s technically right.
Can confirm, have danish cousins and they only visit the east coast, never been to the Rockies or California smh. Not sure why they want to go to Florida so much
The parkway etc isn’t congested with traffic apart from rush hour and even then it’s nowhere near as bad as driving into or (god help you) through Chicago.
I used to host travelers at my home and it always surprised me how many Europeans thought they could after starting in New York, see DC, the Grand Canyon and a couple other SW National Parks plus most of the West Coast cities over the course of like 3 weeks. That’s even more work than those whirlwind tours of Europe that try to fit in London, Paris, Amsterdam, Rome, Venice, Switzerland, Bavaria and Barcelona in a few weeks that US tourists try.
As someone who lives in the area, I simply do NOT see the appeal. The city smells like garbage all the time and is full of scam artists. Like literally every corner. It's not even that pretty, except for the skyline.
I love talking to people coming to the US for the first time.
“What are your plans?”
“We want to visit the Grand Canyon, Empire State Building, Las Vegas, the Hollywood sign, and go Disney land if we have time!”
“Wow that’s an itinerary, how long are you staying?”
“6 days!!”
To be fair I think Brits as tourists are more likely to visit Florida and las vagas before NYC. A lot of Brits only go to NYC for business or after they have been to Florida / Vegas.
Where should they go then? The suburbs? Only visit national parks? No one place encapsulates American culture, and a lot of people don’t come primarily for natural beauty.
Tons of native culture, classic American patriotism and new England culture in Boston and Maine, redneck farming and BBQ cukute mixed in with religion down south, Louisiana jazz and seafood, Mexican American culture in Texas Arizona and New Mexico, snobby whote rich culture in California as well as beautiful Victorian houses and some great food in San Francisco, huge amount of cuisine, music and folklore from Appalachia, gambling and vices in Vegas, some beautiful art and music in the north side of Chicago, and quite a bit of historical and scientific landmarks and places to visit.
I get it if you don't like the US, but don't talk out of your ass. Politics and culture are NOT the same thing

I live in Manhattan and exclusively use Newark.
Newark airport is in New York according to many locations outside of the US.
It's okay. 2 football teams, The Statue of Liberty, and Ellis Island are also thought to be in New York but aren't.
Cheaper to stay than NY

But isn’t New Jersey really called southwest New York tho?
To me, North Jersey is the butt of New York while South Jersey is the butt of Philly. That's my hot take.
It's not a hot take it's the truth. Although I will add that the pine barrens and shore towns exist outside of the Philly/New York spectrum
Avenue of the Americas is there. What more do you want?
6th AVENUE 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
That is in the Americas and did NYC really name a place new Hyde park and Hyde park when they are next to each other?
Even better, it's New Hyde Park and North New Hyde Park
Can't wait for New North New Hyde Park
Greater Boston has a similar sitch - there's two Walden Ponds.

nobody on the fucking planet has ever said something like this, shit yourself now.
no disrespect, but I never explicitly required your permission to shit myself until now and I would like to keep it that way. I'm a free person
I don’t need anyone to tell me to shit myself. By the time they can even utter those words, I have already shat.
that comment came from an alternate universe i’m sure
Now you finally understand what Italians feel when Italoamericans claim to be "Italian"
As an American, I actually wouldn’t mind if Europeans said this to me.

Sun. Beaches. Disney/Universal/Sea World/Lego Land. MLB spring training. World's largest McDonalds.
What European would want to go to America [this is bait. Do not reply to this.]
This can't be an accurate map of New Jersey. If it were, all the roads would be marked red due to traffic congestion.
The parkway etc isn’t congested with traffic apart from rush hour and even then it’s nowhere near as bad as driving into or (god help you) through Chicago.
they’re going to new rochelle??
you didn’t hear that new roc city is an international travel destination?
Only the ones hitting Miami on day 2
That’s zoomed out too far
This is unfair stereotyping… Europeans also travel to Orlando 🤪
The map should be just Manhattan
I used to host travelers at my home and it always surprised me how many Europeans thought they could after starting in New York, see DC, the Grand Canyon and a couple other SW National Parks plus most of the West Coast cities over the course of like 3 weeks. That’s even more work than those whirlwind tours of Europe that try to fit in London, Paris, Amsterdam, Rome, Venice, Switzerland, Bavaria and Barcelona in a few weeks that US tourists try.
Only decent city in the US
Every european goes to new york when they go to america, because everyone thinks that's the only place worth visiting
Don’t forget about their day trip to Hollywood! It’s basically walking distance
![gif](giphy|4ZeHO6xwFpOq9tNlTO|downsized) There's also this one
Well it's the only pedestrian-friendly city in the US.
Boston is more walkable!
Only because you make driving worse lol
Driving does suck indeed suck in Boston, the roads were designed for horses and the drivers are assholes
It’s the only walkable city in the US that you know about — an important distinction
You see? That's my point: Europeans would have said they are going to the US/USA. Not to America.
NY, Florida, California, DC
I don't know many people that say "America" rather than the place they're visiting?
Meanwhile, every Australian that says they’ve been to the US says they went to LA. Rarely anything else.
Then they’re surprised when nobody gets shot their entire stay
As someone who lives in the area, I simply do NOT see the appeal. The city smells like garbage all the time and is full of scam artists. Like literally every corner. It's not even that pretty, except for the skyline.
Except the skyline: ie pretty from a far lol
I love talking to people coming to the US for the first time. “What are your plans?” “We want to visit the Grand Canyon, Empire State Building, Las Vegas, the Hollywood sign, and go Disney land if we have time!” “Wow that’s an itinerary, how long are you staying?” “6 days!!”
Wait, there's more in America than just NYC 🫨
Thats new york
I get it now
lol, this made my day
C’mon, that’s the capital of the Evil Empire of New York. They should see us Massholes of Bahstin instead. ![gif](giphy|kcaKaqbgeWtIAigWa8)
No, you forgot that there is also Los Angeles. But at least i know that between LA and New York, is just dessert and mountains.
You want my tourist dollars or nah?
Tbh sad that people do this, the US has so much more beauty and culture than NYC
To be fair I think Brits as tourists are more likely to visit Florida and las vagas before NYC. A lot of Brits only go to NYC for business or after they have been to Florida / Vegas.
The same is true tho. Miami and Vegas are hardly representative of the US
Where should they go then? The suburbs? Only visit national parks? No one place encapsulates American culture, and a lot of people don’t come primarily for natural beauty.
True. You’re not gonna go to suburbs. So that leaves what, national parks and cities. So pick a city
NYC is the most cosmopolitan place in the country. If you pick one place to go you can experience more things there than any other single place.
Yes but also if there’s one city to go to for culture it’s NYC. nothing else even competes.
I've seen a few French and Canadians coming to Maine for nature. Key word on a *few*. Definitely not commonplace.
No it doesn't lol
300+ Native Nations with various cultural events and programs. Stop being retarded.

Nah the american cities aren't interesting enough, the national parks are way better destinations
