11th State of the Union the consists of three main parts:

1. New York City - The most well known part of New York is New York City, which, contrary the popular belief is not ONLY Manhatten but also Queens, Brooklyn, The Bronx, and Staten Island. NYC is one of the most diverse places in the world...If you stand in Times Square for a full day, you will see someone of every nationality. Home of such shows as Rent, Wicked, and The Producers, and just an amazing place to be. NYC doesn't deserve the bad rep it has as it's been cleaned up more then the rest of the world can imagine since the 80's.

2. Long Island - LI is an island directly south of NYC that contains Naussua and Suffolk counties. We're best known for our beaches, drunk teens, and bitchy girls (we're not all bad). Horrbile accents run freely(for you it's Long Island, for us it's Lawn Guyland). DO NOT be mistaken that a an LIer thinks they are a part of NYC. LI is mostly urbanized with some farm land. Alot of the population is rich (Great Neck, Manhasset) , but there are some poorer areas (Hempstead).

3. Upstate- Usually considered anything North of NYC. Upstate tends to be rather rural but can have a crazy party life on weekends. Many people believe that the upstate-ers are intermarried hicks, but this is not the case. Upstate New York is just the same as the rest of NY except a little bit colder and a little less polluted
1. "New York City...Center of the Universe."
2. Long Island- Home to the most potheads in the United States.
3. Upstate - Gorgeous!

When a stranger stares at you while masturbating and for whatever reason you can't leave, usually occurs in the subway. If not paying attention worst case scenario may result in being cumfaced.
Oh my god Carrie you are not going to believe this! Samantha got New yorked again on the subway. At least this time she avoided getting it in the face.

Basically the greatest state in the entire country...better yet, the world. New Yorkers are also the best people around. Sure, we can be arrogant and yes, from time to time we're prissy bitches. But NOTHING is finer than a New York girl...or the taste of REAL pizza and bagels. We're the only state that you can say "The City" and know you're referring to NYC. We have the best shopping, the best Christmas Tree, the best Parades...oh right and the best baseball team that ever existed and I'm NOT talking about the Mets. All in all, New York rapes your state by being better in EVERY way imaginable. I <3 NY.
New York is so fetch.

The mother of the modern city, to which in one way or another every other city in the world is compared. Always something to do here (if not everything), but it's generally the best idea to visit in fall or spring, when the city's weather and appearance are at their greatest. Summer, particularly August, would be a no-go: not only is it hot and humid, but a lot of people have gone on vacation, so there's comparatively less to do. If you have to go in summer, try anywhere from late May to early July. I'd recommend, among a hundred thousand other things, kayaking on the Hudson River — don't worry, it's clean, not to mention it's free.
Jack: "I went to New York in August and it sucked."

Jill: "No wonder, you fool; you went in August when it's hot and nasty and everyone's out of town. You might as well have gone to Calcutta. Come back in the fall and you'll enjoy yourself."

Two months later...

Jack: "I went back to New York and it kicked ass! I'm glad I listened."

Jill: "See? I told you."

Jack: "Let's go back next year!"

Jill: "Okay."
