I'm a stupid stuckup two-faced inbred, but no offense taken.
Jefferson county does not count as new york. For that matter neither does the rest of upstate NY. Once you get past westchester you're really pushing it. I go up to vermont semi-regularly, and once you pass Albany it gets bad too. I'm not too crazy about albany for that matter but I'll let it go.
Long Island. Close enough to NYC that I've done almost none of the usual NYC stops that people would do. I've never been to the statue of liberty either, just seen it while going by on a boat or something. Never been to coney island. I have been to Chicken and Rice however, which is the untold secret of manhattan:
