you cannot claim Italian pastry and pizza. There is an endemic Italian population here in NJ that was making and selling those products to the public at the same time as their New York counterparts— most of them never lived in NYC

What we think of as NY/NJ pizza was first developed in NYC though

I think the “New Yorkers” you’re referring to are just self-aware New Jerseyans.

NYC has food (both diversity and quality), entertainment (nightlife, broadway), culture significantly above Jersey.

It’s unfair to Jersey as a state to say we have better stuff to NY in those regards. We’re great in our own regard.
