Long Island

An island in the north Atlantic. Home to Billy Joel, Jerry Seinfeld and Alec Baldwin. It's a diverse place consisting of Nassau and Suffolk counties (Suffolk is far superior.) Ranging from rich white suburbs like Oyster Bay ("meet the parents" was set there!), Great neck and Port Washington to poor "hood" towns with the word "hood" in them like Riverhood, Hoodlum Bays and Brenthood as well as vacation destinations like Southampton and Montauk, gay hotspots like Westhampton and places where upper middle class artists and hipsters take over like Greenport. You get around using the LIRR, you drink Coors light out of a paper bag and you need to change in Ronkonkoma if you're on the North fork and in Babylon if you're on the south fork and in Jamaica if you're anywhere else. If you're one of the lucky ones who lives on the east end, you get the luxury of taking the Hampton jitney. You shop at King Kullen or the IGA. You go to "the city", not Manhattan and constantly claim to be from new York in order to seem cool.
