A disputation
How would you define the Tri-State Area?

If Joe DeNardo said it was true, it is.

These replies are hilarious New Jersey parochialism. The "Tri-State Area" is New York and its two bordering, dependent states, New Jersey and Connecticut.
It is true that New Jersey at its southern end is also dependent on Pennsylvania, but that does not make New Jersey the fulcrum of some PA-NJ-NY entity. New York and Pennsylvania have separate existences, and to unify them behind the common denominator of having New Jersey hanging off them is sadly narcissistic, especially coming from a state whose defining characteristic is that it has nothing to be narcissistic about.
This is precisely like Connecticut claiming to be the center of a NY-CT-RI "Tri-State Area."
(By "New York" and "Pennsylvania" I of course mean "New York City" and "Philadelphia.")

But what does a state need to provide to the equation in order to be part of it? I just can't figure out how Connecticut means anything, except being the home to people who work in New York.

That's it. It's the spillover from the metropolitan area.

This is egregious, Dennis.

NY, NJ, CT.
Whoa. Are you from any of those states?
Yes. Those 3 are the "tri-state" area for anyone living anywhere near NYC.
