The "other" suburb of New York, in a moderate rivalry with Long Island, which is for some reason seen as the "prime" suburb because it is slightly larger and more well-known. ANd by the way, Westchester County is not a bunch of rich snobs, contrary to the stereotype. Acc. to the census LI has the same per capita income as us.
Long Island can go fuck themselves - did you know that the 516 area code was actually created out of 914 in 1954? We still have the area code, you losers!

Get the Westchestermug. The richest county in Ny State, that directly borders NYC to the north, and borders CT as well. Counties north from Westchester like Putnam, Dutchess and Ulster are EXTREMELY different from Westchester. Westchester pretty much owns LI.
The Breakdown.
Westchester is actually not a completely rich county. It has more racially diverse areas like Mt. Vernon, New Rochelle and Ossining and Yonkers. Yet there are extremely rich towns like Scarsdale, Armonk, Rye, Bronxville, Larchmont and Bedford which give Westchester its rich reputation.
Rich and Preppy
Scarsdale - quite possibly the most annoying town in Westchester as everyone there works in NYC and sends there kids to Scarsdale HS, which happens to have a great education. The old country-club town. Like a Greenwich of Westchester.
Larchmont - same as above as it borders scarsdale
Rye and Bronxville - Full of annoying stuck up rich kids who think they are ghetto.
Rich Towns in Southern Westchester
Pelham - a town w/ kids who think they are ghetto cause they live near Mt. Vernon and NYC.
Harrison - everyone there is rich although there are some actual middle class residents.
Northern Westchester
Bedford - Very rich town with a diverse HS with kids from Mt. Kisco, Bedford Hills, Pound Ridge, and Bedford.
Pound Ridge - nothing wrong here. old country town with nothing in it.
Mt. Kisco - called a "rough" town in N. Westchester but its nothing like that. The only town in the area with an actual town.
Armonk- 86% Jewish. Great HS. Great academics. Hot moms, nice houses. nice cars. Annoying Stuck up kids who wish they were black.
North Salem - Nothing happens here
Chappaqua - Bill Clintons town. Good HS. no crime.
Called "Ghetto"
White Plains - has a few gangs, nice small city with 2 malls and a growing city center.
New Rochelle
Ossining
Peekskill
Actually "Ghetto"
Mt. Vernon - Many murders and robberies. Amazing Basketball with most of the community being African-American.
Yonkers - closest town to NYC, has some crime and violence. Also the most highly populated town in Westchester.
Westchester is a highly populated county of suburbs from NYC. Much nicer than LI. Alot better than LI. Not a snobby as Fairfield. best county in the Metropolitan Area.

Get the Westchestermug. 1. County directly north of the Bronx, New York. A very diverse place, it contains poor rundown areas like Mount Vernon, Yonkers and Port Chester and wealthy areas like Scarsdale and Chappaqua (home to Bill and Hillary). New Rochelle has both poor and rich neighborhoods and Port Chester is actually on the rebound, with its Costco downtown. With three Metro-North railroad lines running through the county as well as several parkways, many people in Westchester commute to NYC. Of course, Westchester is home to the HQ of many important companies like Kraft, Pepsi, IBM, Mastercard and ITT.
2. Neighborhood of Los Angeles near the Los Angeles Int'l Airport.
3. western suburb of Chicago
4. western suburb of Miami
5. West Chester -- town west of Philadelphia - not to be confused with Chester, PA, the most rundown city in the USA.

Get the Westchestermug. A slightly confusing insult hurled at people who might not quite be from the 'hood. Probably not used outside of New York City, much.
Person from the 'hood: Whatever, WESTCHESTER!
Person not from the 'hood: What? I'm not from Westchester, I'm from Ohio.
Person from the 'hood: Yeah, you definitely WESTCHESTER!
Person not from the 'hood: Ummm... okay... thanks?

Get the Westchestermug. Westchester is upstate according to New York City. High school kids drive Mercedez, Bmw's, range rovers, etc... to school. There really is no ghetto except for some parts of Westchester, such as Yonkers, White Plains, Peekskill and others. They aren't that bad, but will definitely freak the residents of Rye, Scarsdale, Somers, Bedford.
The county is filled with yuppies, japs, wasps, anything you can think of. Every town thinks that they are better then the next. Competition and Gossip is what makes their worlds go round. Looking good is a must, you have to wear the latest fashion and look ultra sexy in it. The Westchester Mall located in White Plains is a main stop for any Westchesterite who knows what is going on. At this mall they have everything for anyone with money (my favorite mall in the entire country). Each floor basically goes by class... except for some late bloomers. The bottom floor is the richest with Tiffany, Gucci, Lilly, Tumi, and soon to come Chanel, and David Yurman. Second floor is family floor it has lots of childrens stores including Crewcuts the kid store of J. Crew... so cute. But, it also has Louis, Coach, Micheal Kors... etc... then the top floor is for the people that wished they have money.. .minus J. Crew which should be on the second floor.
Northern Westchester wishes they live in Rye and Scarsdale but wont admit it. Somers is extremely wealthy home to many CEO's of Pepsi, IBM etc. Nobody knows this town because there is absolutely nothing in it except for a gated community filled with old people who wont let anything happen without their approval. They just got a CVS that took forever to get the "O.K.".
White Plains is supposedly the new Manhattan, with Trump building gorgeous multi-million dollar apartment buildings, and a Ritz Carlton just opening in the heart of the city. This city is up and coming, it really isn't touristy yet but it will be soon, night life is great and mostly located on Mamaroneck Ave. which yes, does lead in to Mamaroneck.
Orange County, our neighbor wishes they lived in Westchester, and tries desperately to be like us but doesn't pull it off. Wish they were apart of our country clubs but no, not going to happen.
Westchester Country Club one of the oldest and elites of the country clubs, has two locations the main in Rye and the beach club which is really nice. Everyone wearing Lilly, Ralph and my personal fav Vineyard Vines. Westchester is home to many prep schools that molds the children of Westchester in to their parents. "Not doing anything wrong" or at least they dont get caught. Drinking (underage) in their parents' houses or on the local golf course. Always wearing your topsiders, popped collar, and pearls while you chug one is the way to show your "molding".
There are the guidos too which take up most of lower Westchester. Yonkers, White Plains, Harrison have many of them. Most people don't know this term but guido is a guy who has a blow-out hairstyle, extremely tan and looks like he is on roids. A guidette is a girl version but instead of being insanely muscular you are just coked-out skinny. Oh yea, and they all wear Armani and go to Pacha in NYC on the weekends.
Mahopac is a wannabe Westchesterite, but you know when your in Mahopac and it is no Westchester. Extremely trashy.

Westchester is...
"What are you doing today?"
"Driving my porsche and bringing my kid to the club to meet her future husband... plastic surgeons are in"
"No way, Susan! That's exactly what I'm doing"
"I no isn't it great find them a husband and get botox injections for free... so excited!"
Both laugh.
