Not Ranked
When Long Island was referred to as "The Island", Manhattan was referred to as "The City", and New Jersey was referred to as, "Joisey". If you were from New York, you were from "Noo Yoak".
The (then newly constructed) Verizzano Bridge was called the Ginny Gangplank, and only cost $.25 toll.
Jack21 grew up on Long Island, spent a few years in Texas ( I loved Texas, particularly Galveston), moved to New Jersey (Exit 10), (I loved N.J.), then to Washington DC (Northern Virginia). So? DC has averything I hated about NY, but none of the socially redeming factors. Like Long Island ( The South Bay, Jones Beach), or Joisey (Seaside Hights, Wildwood).
But, wherever this little Cobra clan of ours hangs out; fun and nostalga prevails.
My next move? Retirement in nice, quiet, peaceful, low key, Morehead City, N.C.
