Though many others have tried and failed in the past, a NY Post scribe is the latest to take on the task of touting New Jersey as the new New York. Haven't you heard? "If you like Downtown Brooklyn you'll love Newark," which is sort of the equivalent of someone in Chicago saying Gary, Indiana is just as lovable as the Windy City. What have the rest of New York's neighborhoods been compared to this time around?
- The Upper West Side = Montclair: In 2007 Montclair was Park Slope West, now it's moved on up to the UWS (allegedly because of its Bowery Presents venue that features shows from the likes of Counting Crows and John Legend).
- SoHo = Red Bank: Allegedly "Red Bank's not a pretentious town at all," soooo not at all like SoHo then.
- Lower Manhattan = Jersey City: they're allegedly both "the spot for bankers and ladies who lunch and shop at Tia's Place for AG jeans and Tibi dresses." Tibi what...can anyone confirm?
- And the Bowery = Atlantic City: because of the new hotel, the Chelsea, whose 5th floor lounge area was created by the Beatrice Inn boys (a bar that's in...the West Village).

This is hilarious. I guess the "Downtown Brooklyn=Newark" is because Newark will probably get the Nets?
Newark we go hard, we go hard.
"Philadelphia is the new Brooklyn, China is the new America, Mars is the new Moon, and the Andromeda Galaxy is the new Milky Way! 'Cause it's a buyer's market baby!" quoth the real estate agent.
Newark is a never ending train wreck
Well New Jersey is where the Port Authority seems to spend most of its money sort of ignoring the fact that is the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
As well as utterly forgetting that little ole Cross-Harbor Rail Tunnel that the PA was first organized in order to build.
So the rest of Jersey is what? Staten Island? Queens? i live in Jersey and have no delusions about it being NY because it ain't and it will never be. No matter how hard the realtor spin it.
Newtown Creek = all of New Jersey.
^^^ You are the king of the forced & contrived joke NannyState. Bravo!!!!! I must admit, you have no peers.
I know New York City. New Jersey, you’re no New York City.
Newark is neither as nice as Downtown Brooklyn nor as awful as Gary.
With the overpriced new apartments in JC, it's pretty comparable to Lower Manhattan though.
Then why would someone live in JC if the prices are comparable??
We chose JC so we don't have to deal with the likes of you.
The prices are no where near comparable. Those trump high rises and other monstrosities on the river do not JC make.
JC= Lower Manhattan extension.
Stop Right there and you have yourself a 65% factual article. The rest is bullshit.
