Traditionally, "bridge and tunnel" does not refer to suburbanites from Westchester and CT (who are on average wealthier than Manhattanites) but rather citizens of the outer-boroughs (Queens, Bronx, Staten Island, Bronx). The term is actually one of barely-contained racism and ethnic snobbery, most often applied to Italian "guidos" with thick accents

People who live in the suburban arears of new York City (Long Island, Westchester, and also New Jersey) They invade Manhattan. They have heavy NY thick accents, are behind in fashion-they think it is still 1990. The girls have big hair and fake dark tans with long fake nails. The guys are typically guidos yet there are also guys who are 35 and still wearing their 1985 Motley Crue attire.
Everyone whos from Manhhtan hate these people. They are beneath us.

A term used by pompous out-of-staters who think they are superior to native New Yorkers (namely those from Jersey, the other 4 boroughs and Long Island who travel via bridge or tunnel to get to Manhattan.) Generally used by white-bred, sheltered, self-righteous "yuppies."
Perhaps an antonym would be "Train and Plane people".

Since I moved to NY, I feel inferior and intimidated by native new yorkers, so I refer to them as the, "bridge and tunnel crowd" to make myself feel better.

Derived from the New York City locution, "Bridge and Tunnel Crowd" (“B&TC”) is often used in Houston to refer to the mass of typically young people who live in the outskirts and trek into town to enjoy the food and nightlife. They are distinguishable because they usually "enjoy" the same expensive restaurants that have bad food and pretentious nightclubs. In paticular, these restaurants used to be hot-spots for the city dwellers, but were quickly found to be below par. See, e.g. Milagro. Additionally, the B&TC generally flock to the same popular nightclubs representing that they are big-shots, when in fact, they have peon jobs out in the sticks. See, e.g. The Red Door; See also Credit Card Millionaires.
Used in a sentence:
-"I don't know why that place is so crowded; I thought the food sucked."
-"It must be the bridge and tunnel crowd."
-"I don't know why that place is so crowded; I thought the food sucked."
-"It must be the bridge and tunnel crowd."

A heterosexual man who attempts to portray a metrosexual image, yet fails considerably, because of his poor fashion, hairstyle, and grooming choices. He is usually from a bridge and tunnel area outside of a major metropolitan area. His fashion is usually outdated and his clothes sometimes contain fake brand names. He is usually in decent shape, but his clothes accentuate all of the unattractive body parts that he thinks look fantastic. He usually uses a lot of product in his hair which is very noticeable to the human eye.
The guys from Jersey Shore are pretty, but they're totally Bridge and Tunnel Metro (BTM).
He'd be perfect if he wasn't a Bridge and Tunnel Metro (BTM).
He has a nice body, but he's totally a Bridge and Tunnel Metro (BTM).
