I just realized New York isn’t just the city, but also a state? And now I was about to write that I feel like I knew this in the back of my head, because that’s probably then where New Jersey is, but nope, turns out that is also its own state. And it’s kind of closer to New-York-the-city, because it and Connecticut apparently double-teamed New-York-the-state.
Also, there’s a mountain range in New-York-the-state which is called “Catskill Mountains”, which I’m totally not just bringing up to distract from my lack of geography knowledge. 🫠

As someone from New York State, that’s been the bane of my existence. Want to search online for something specific to New York? Full of results for the city, where the answer is probably different. Everyone assumes you mean the city when you say where you’re from (except New Yorkers).
By the way, people refer to it as New York State and New York City if they’re being specific. Also, there’s an area in New York State called Catskill. Just a fun fact I guess.

Yeah, I was being extra obtuse for comedic effect. 😅
But well, I’m somewhat glad that it’s not just me then, who can’t tell the two apart…
