hotcheme Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 someone else will have to confirm but I think it means Bridge & Tunnel (kinda derogatory), meaning the bridges and tunnels that lead out of manhattan to jersey, LI, and other places....

Should I avoid the B&T people ..actually I am staying in Jersey when I come up so would I be a B&T person? there is nothing wrong with b&t ppl. it's a good way to gauge if you will like a place. i know that is not the crowd i would prefer to hang out with so i avoid places like that (most of the time) but who knows? you might really like that scene. give it a shot.

djqwest Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 I think it's the other way around. "meaning the bridges and tunnels that lead into manhattan". Creating a less desireable atmosphere filled with non manhattan individuals".

Doesn't it say that you are from Jersey under your name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'my own people' lol.... i like jersey, but i don't like hanging out here and i don't really like the stereotypical type of ppl that come in from jersey (with exceptions). i admit that this is an unattractive bias but ny caters to me musically and socially and jersey doesn't (usually). i am glad the b&t places and the jersey shore exists because they are great places for jersey people to have fun but just not for me.

pookey Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 If you are staying in Jersey, on a Friday try Metro Lounge in Rochelle Park and then go to the city afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tastyt Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 It's more about attitude than residence... there are people who "fit in" to Manhattan and those who don't (ie, someone walking through the heart of Chelsea and complaining about all the queens).
