Jersey City and Hoboken have more cultural activity than the Bronx. With 1/4 the population! Where can one see live music in the Bronx? Famous concert festivals? Any good museums up there? Artist scenes? Any good restaurant rows outside of Arthur Ave? I don't think there are.
I thought you knew so much about NY? More than me, even, you claimed the other day. If you did, you'd know that the Statue of Liberty was placed facing where the Verrazano Bridge now stands ... to WELCOME the immigrants coming into Ellis Island (NJ & NY...but mostly NJ). It was placed there as a welcoming face, as if to say "Welcome, this is the land of the free". All of the immigrant ships came from the Atlantic Ocean, in between Staten Island and Brooklyn, and up through the harbor to Ellis Island. You can read primary sources from journals and diaries describing immigrants excitement when they saw the Statue looming in the distance. THIS is why the Statue faces the direction that it does.
Ugh, your NYC-centric attitude turns my stomach. To think that the Statue faces NY, just to face NY. You're quite silly. At least you learned something today.
Um hoboken and jersey city are fake wanna be brooklyns. What cultures have hoboken or jersey city created on their own, unlike the bronx. LOL what have they done exactly. Music wise the bronx put in more work in music culture than both of them combined. All hoboken had was sinitra. Thats it. Both have to market themselves as alternatives to williamsburg and the village come on jersey culture is spillover ny culture. What music culture has jersey created that exist in newyork like hip hop in jersey.
what in jersey city is on the level of the ny botanical,bx zoo, or wave hill
Theres good food all over the bronx, city island for one. Its just spread out
And the statue of liberty is a new york icon, just stop it. I know jersey doresnt have antthing iconic like that but stop it lol. Your embarrasing yourself if you think somebody in paris thinks of ny and nj when they see the statue of liberty
Music is everywhere in different parks, pelham for one. I know they got a rock bar thing at this spot in the south bronx, something bar and grill cant remember the name. Live music isnt my thing

Music must be the end all. You repeat the same irrelevant lines more than a scratched cd.

Who is really the one embarassing themselves in this thread?
This thread is becoming a sh*tshow, so I'm going to attempt to observe it from a distance to watch it implode.
Thing is bk and manhatan exist within the same city, its new york city culture. What culture does jersey have to call its own in the avenues of hip hop,rock,randb etc. Exactly what have ya done? lol. Ya have artist, aswell as every state really. But what have ya done, what is distinctively new jersey that ppl around the world can identify with.. jershey shore guidos? come on
New Jersey is continually bashed and the false stereotypes go over the wall. However, the media only shows these negatives of New Jersey, and the rest of the country believe what they see. They think of this beautiful state as a guido-infested stinkhole, when it's not. If a New Jerseyan speaks the truth and says otherwise, the people will have none of it as they think the New Jerseyan is only defending his state. I'm not getting into this Outer Boroughs vs. NJ thread, because I was raised in Queens, NY and now live in New Jersey. Theyre both the same to me, both have outstanding cultures and contributed in many ways to society today. This argument is about which contributions are more famous, and that's just a stupid idea.

They do the same thing with the bronx. Which made me mad with new jersey for coming at the bronx for being so impovershid,so poor lol whatever. Bringing up the fact that the bronx was the poorest county. So it is what it is
I gotta make a run to brooklyn. So im signing out
But as it stands
the yankeees,the bronx zoo,hip hop,brooklyn museum,ny botanical and everything else i mentioned in this thread are bigger icons than anything in new jersey.

Why are you lying?
You first came into the "NNJ Vs LI" thread and bashed NJ and it's people as wannabe's. Your egotistic, ignorant views were just plain unnecessary. You were bound to eat some harsh reality Now you're playing the roll as the innocent one being ganged up on after you were just calling NJians cowards for not participating in this stupid thread...
Your points are repatitive, your missing/denying (whichever) valid points, and your pulling out pointless offensive arguments just to satisfy yourself. I'm surprised this thread isn't being closed!
The yankees, the Bronx Zoo, and hip hop are mere accomplishments made by the Bronx while NJ is the birthplace of electric light (thanks to Thomas Edison), the light of which brightens up the NYC skyline at night, NJ is home to the longest boardwalk in the world (filled with rides, casinos, and attractions), Jersy Cities Liberty Science Museum is the most popular science museum in the nation, NJ provides the nation with the most Cranberries, Tomatoes, and Peaches more than any other state, East Rutherford, NJ is soon to be home to the largest retail and entertainment complex in America with indoor ski/snowboarding slopes and the largest Ferris wheel in America things to do - Xanadu Meadowlands (it will open in the upcoming 2010 year), Newark NJ is home to the Prudential center which host the NJ Devils Hockey team and other indoor arenas http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prudential_Center , and NJ is home to the 2nd largest waterfall in the north east in Paterson, NJ where the historic mills used to work off of. (It's a very historic landmark)
I'm sure there's more, but I don't think the Bronx can breath anymore.

Um, the boroughs by far...no contest. But, I'd rather live in NJ over many other places in the country.
