All I know is one of my best friends and ex roommates is from LA, and he mentions me being from New York wayyy more than I've ever mentioned him being from LA. The only time I've mentioned LA is if I'm visiting and I'm looking for restaurant recommendations or we're making plans. It always felt as a New Yorker I was the butt of random, "oh iliveoffofbagels probably doesn't like the pizza.... oh he probably despises these bagels..." type of jokes.
