        Nah quality is pretty evenly distributed throughout the area. Joe & John’s is squarely in the red section for example. Honestly, midtown Manhattan is mainly chains and bougie shit that barely resembles NYC style

          I’ve lived in both but I don’t remember anything distinctive about NJ pizza. The main thing about NY pizza for me is I can walk in, get a slice, and eat it on foot. Though I lived in the NJ suburbs, where “on foot” wasn’t really a thing.

    I love when maga-pilled tell people to avoid major parts of the country.

    Why?

    1. They’re sensitive snowflakes who get butthurt if they see a LGBTQIA person
    2. Nobody wants them there anyways.

        So what you’re telling me is that the good, cheap food that tourists crave are in the red labeled areas? Understood!

        After some thought, its New York, so cheap is probably relative.

          Yea. There’s at least 3 night markets In Queens where you can fill up on $10. And in The heights and the Bronx you can find restaurants under the train tracks selling crazy portions for $15

    You can tell they’re not from New York because they circled part of New Jersey.

    Otherwise I’d say it might be from a New Yorker telling people to stick to the tourist areas.

        Making fun of NJ is like “omg epic bacon” or saying “I’m so random”. It’s really passé and unoriginal. It’s extra funny when the speaker is from, like, Mississippi or someplace that’s actually bad.

          Staten Island doesn’t count because it’s basically New Jersey.

    Last time I visited New York I stayed in New Jersey, in the red area, was a 20 minute bus ride from the port authority without traffic. Had Chinese food one night from the red area, is still the best American-Chinese food I ever had.
