New York!!! I love New York!
I lived in upstate New York until I was 13 and part of me really misses it there. I'd never live in New York City, I'm not at all a city girl. I love it upstate though. People always seem to think of New York state as New York City, but The whole state isn't one big city after another. My family (extended family, not my parents) owns a big dairy farm in New York. I had hardly been to a city until I moved down here to Florida.

When people say a "New York accent" they are usually referring to people who talk like Joe Pesci. However not all people who are from New York state speak with a "New York accent", it depends on where in NY they're from.
