The City 

New York City, the greatest FUCKING city in da woyld. Everyone whose not from New York is a FUCKING BARBARIAN.
People who are not from The City, such as Long Island, or West Chester, or Rockland's Country, do not have the luxury of indoor plumbing as we City folk do.

But then again, we civilized folk wouldnt have milk or meat if it wasn't four the agriculture of the Upstate New York.
