Why surprise? You all know New Englanders are not the friendliest of people.

I'm going to take this as sarcasm .

Salem, MA...people love to come here but are often unprepared for how crowded it can get. And funny enough, Danvers, a neighboring town is where the witch trials began.

Awesome place and awesome people. Sleepy Hollow gets busy this time of year as well.

There's always something to do in the Hudson Valley, especially in the Fall.

Best tv shows that takes place in MA or NY?

Well, as someone who lived in Essex County, NJ, I would have to say The Sopranos!. Of course, I would say that even if I weren't from NJ. It's my favorite show.

Born and raised in MA. My whole family still lives there so I go back a lot. I now live in the PNW, one little comment about the East vs West that really shocked me, is the little things we say in Boston that they DO NOT understand out here. Like I always said "Look out for the Statie" and "Got to run to the Packie" and "That's wicked". And people would just stare at me. There are a lot more, but I had to do a lot of explaining in the beginning. I now just say things like "basement" instead of "cellar."

I still call everyone Kid though... and Dunks is still Dunks.

And GO SOXS.

Oh one more thing, does anyone else HATE when they mess the accents up on TV? It is my largest pet peeve. I hate a fake Boston (or NY) accent. It has to be the most annoying thing ever. I just can't watch it. I will literally turn it off.

I used to live in Massachusetts (born and brought up for 40 years), but now in Texas. A few years ago, someone came up to me at the convention center and asked "Where's the bubbler?" and I had no trouble directing her. But as she walked away, the people with me asked "What's a 'bubbler?'"
My son now lives in Queens with his girl friend. She's a Yankees fan, he's a Red Sox fan (owner of a brick a the "Nomar's entrance"at Fenway). How do they survive? By only going to Mets games-at least that's somewhat neutral!

Have any Bay Staters or New Yorkers never been to an NHL game before?
