A wholesome town located on the LI Sound conveniently between Greenwich and Harrison, Rye's population consists of "Rye Moms", whom drive ridiculously big SUVs and are always at the club (mind you, there are probably 7 to choose from) playing tennis, Wall Street fathers whom take the 5:46 am train to the city every morning and don't get home till the kids are asleep, and is simply crawling with trouble-making tweens and teenagers crowded into Starbucks whom all have popped collars, beach houses in nantucket or the hamptons, and go to huge keggers every weekend.

Rye is a grass grown to be used much like a grain.
As a slang term 'Rye' usually refers to rye whiskey although other alcohols, such as vodka and beer, can also be made using the crop.
Rye alcohol was extremely popular during prohibition and its production faded increasingly following the dry period. Nowadays, only a select few alcohol makers still produce rye whiskey, and even fewer produce other beverages using rye. The most popular brands of rye whiskey are undeniably: Wild Turkey and Jim Beam.
When used alone, 'rye' almost exclusively refers to rye whiskey.

Barkeep: "What'll it be?"
Patron: "Shot of rye... scratch that, what kind do you have?"
Barkeep: "Of rye? We have Turkey and Old Portero."
Patron: "Aged Turkey?"
Barkeep: "Yup, in an 80, and basic 80, and I think a regular 101."
Patron: "Alright just some fresh 80 on the rocks."
Barkeep: "Sure, just a second."

A "city" in New York, filled with rich WASPs and huge McMansions. It's also the correct lyric in the song American Pie.

A tribute to a favoured Canadian whiskey. "Rye Not" is a phrase used in response to a question about a shot. It can also be used in response to a drunk friend's question, similar to YOLO without the douchbaginess of said statement.
"Eh! Do you want a shot of rye?!"
"Rye Not!"
"I wasn't that into him, but I was absolutely shitfaced and thought, Rye Not."

a town and city in southern/eastern westchester county. the town includes rye, port chester, rye neck, and rye brook. i don't know who you idiots are writing this previous stuff but bordering on larchmont and "huge mcmansions?" please....do you even know what that is supposed to mean? do your homework kid. not very many "mcmansions" over in rye. founded in 1660 it's an established community. the city of rye is regarded as a wealthy community, but the town is a mixed bag. both the city and town have a good school system, particularly the city as it is richer. rye is also the home of playland, a famous amusement park and retreat for westchester residents.
