To add. Parts of South Jersey look like Tennessee or West VA, the accents and the house architecture even changes. And the Shore turns into either the Hamptons or Myrtle Beach, depending on the time of year.NJ is a unique state. The state is virtually a suburb from head to toe. Northern Half part of the nyc metro and southern half part of the Philly metro area.
So yes a lot of NJ culture is related to both cities and both sides of NJ root for their respective teams. North - Knicks, Yankees, Mets, Giants.
South - Eagles, Phillies and Sixers.
