Buffalo
It has some wild wings and is home to perhaps the NFL's most die-hard fanbase.
Long Island
Indeed, Long Island is a long island. It's got Brooklyn and Queens, which actually has a neighbourhood called Jamaica. Despite this, it has an unrelated etymology with the country of Jamaica. See also The Great Gatsby.
