B is for Big Apple.

The nickname for the greatest city in the world, NYC.

C is for Coney Island.

Located in Brooklyn, Coney Island, is a fantastic place to hit on your summer adventures. What is better than a carnival and the beach?

This upstate New York town has one of the SUNY liberal arts schools, SUNY Fredonia.

Located in Midtown, the heart of Manhattan.

L is for Long Island.

You know you're from Long Island when you think Long Island should be its own state.

W is for Westchester County.

The best county in the country! Resides outside of NYC.
