What you're seeing is Nyack, New York, a lovely town on the west side of the Hudson River less than 30 miles north of NYC and just north of the Tappan Zee Bridge.
The area (both sides of the river) is considered the lower Hudson Valley and definitely worth a visit.

"Thats Life" is like all the small blue collar towns of NJ, maybe the shore,there are a lot of towns in New Jersey that resemble many Conn,upstate NY towns,even Boston suburbs-big homes,lots of trees,hills..NJ is a "drivers" state, big,spread out, many people never go that far from their area, some in Northern Jersey never venturing west or south..It looks like all the films you have seen,malls (huge malls)turnpikes,electric plants,smokestacks on highways, then it is also fields,horse farms,forests,beaches for miles and miles,gardens and stately homes, universities and riverfront with views of the Hudson/NY.It is a beautiful,varied state, never gets enough respect
and everyone should take the time to see it for themselves..Don't forget - there is also Atlantic City~

Do you people mean you have to look certain way to belong in New Jersey? What about diversity?
Please expand your views because diversity is a wonderful thing to embrace. I just didn't think until now that NJ is many years back when people who are different are not welcomed. I hope I am wrong but this is what some of you are saying in your posts. Or maybe those who are making those statements are not even from New Jersey but keep stereoteped views for years and years and never reviewed them.

If you go to Nyack, stop at Lu Shanes a great restaurant, ed actually walks by it from time to time. They have an incredible Martini menu and a Berrie Napoleon that is to die for. Thursday and Sunday great live Jazz. The only problem is the service SUCKS, so sit at the bar and let George the bartender take care of you and you will be very happy

Nyack was revamped and revitalized and now has many wonderful restaurants and shops up and down Main Street...Bloomfield Avenue in Montclair also has some very nice restaurants and shops although parking is a pain even in the municipal lots because of the time constraints...there'a an art museum there also...if you go to Montclair, keep going down Bloomfield Avenue into Nutley and have pizza at Angelo's.

I love remarks like "he doesn't look rough enough for NJ"...does this xxx look like the state he is from? I am from California,lived in NC and NY and now live in NJ....wonder where I look like I am from...am I rough enough since I now live in NJ? Are you aware of how many Fortune 500 families/millionaires live in NJ? Is that the rough look you are talking about?

To Give me a break:
The tough Jersey type of people is a common (and generally true) stereotype. Look at all the comedy skits about the tough Jersey types. It is common in the movies and on TV. I think the TV show Thats Life does a great job at promoting the typical Jersey type. Also a walk down the boardwalk in Atlantic City also shows us the typical Jersey type. They are tough, cold and a bit rough around the edges. Yes there are nice cities and people in Jersey, but if you pick 1000 people at random from the various cities in east Jersey you would find a high percentage of tough cookies!-- Not at all like the people in Ed!

OK --if you get your information from comedy skits on tv, I can't argue with those "facts"..
you are also talking about Jersey shore and blue collar types, what about Princeton? the whole North Jersey area, that is largely populated by doctors,lawyers,CEO's, not a lot of dis and dat spoken there! and please try to remember that what you see on a sitcom is not neccesarily real life.Are all the people that live in California blonde and beautiful and work in the movies? or is that a stereotype?

New Jersey edged out Connecticut for the highest per capita income in the country this year. Anyone who thinks that typical Jersey type today is "rough" hasn't been there in a while. North Jersey is a bedroom community for New York commuters. Even further down the shore where I live the "rough" types are far outnumbered by the commuters going to work on Wall Street.
