1. New York Is Not New England<\/h2>\n

\"32<\/p>\n

Source: Wikimedia Commons<\/div>\n

Most out-of-towners have no clue what really constitutes \u201cNew England.\u201d It\u2019s made up of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont and New Englanders take offense if you get it wrong.<\/p>\n

2. Road Trips Here Aren\u2019t Quite As Long<\/h2>\n

\"32<\/p>\n

One perk of being in New England is that there\u2019s tons of awesome stuff to do everywhere. If you\u2019re headed to some cool attraction or even another state, the drive probably won\u2019t take longer than an hour or so.<\/p>\n

3. Dunkin\u2019 Over Everything<\/h2>\n

\"32<\/p>\n

At times it can seem like every New Englander is slightly addicted to Dunkin\u2019 Donuts. Whether you\u2019re stopping for a morning cup of coffee or a deliciously sweet treat, this place is hard to beat.<\/p>\n

4. A Trip To The Package Store Will Get You Drunk<\/h2>\n

\"32<\/p>\n

While people in most areas of the country might go to the package store when they\u2019re looking to mail something, New Englanders head to the \u201cpackie\u201d when they want to get their buzz on. The shelves here are full of booze and it\u2019s all for sale.<\/p>\n

5. There\u2019s A Reason You Keep Seeing Whalers Gear<\/h2>\n

\"32<\/p>\n

A sort of local legend, the Hartford Whalers used to be a professional hockey team in Connecticut until they left in 1997. Local fans refuse to let go, as they still insist on rocking the Whalers\u2019 green and navy.<\/p>\n

6. \u201cWicked\u201d Might Become Your New Favorite Word<\/h2>\n

\"32<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User meandmybadself<\/div>\n

Known for making words even better than they used to be, the adverb \u201cwicked\u201d is very popular in this region. It basically means \u201cmore\u201d or \u201cextremely\u201d. For example, saying something is \u201cwicked awesome\u201d means that it is the coolest of cools.<\/p>\n

7. No Sales Tax Is Worth The Drive<\/h2>\n

\"32<\/p>\n

When it comes to shopping in New England, its best when it\u2019s done in New Hampshire. Thanks to there being no sales tax in this state, what you see is always what you pay.<\/p>\n

8. New England Is Kinda Like Your Cool Old Grandpa<\/h2>\n

\"32<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User archer10 (Dennis) REPOSTING<\/div>\n

When it comes to American history, there\u2019s no better place to experience it firsthand than New England. Thanks to the colonists being around these parts for so long, some pretty cool stuff has happened here and nearly every old building has a story.<\/p>\n

9. It Can Get A Bit Haunted Around These Parts<\/h2>\n

\"32<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Rob Speed<\/div>\n

When it comes to haunted houses in New England, they tend to be a dime a dozen. With so much history in the area, a few creepy things are sure to have happened in every town.<\/p>\n

10. Don\u2019t Insult Our Lobster Rolls\u2026 Ever<\/h2>\n

\"32<\/p>\n

When it comes to an awesome local meal, there\u2019s nothing more New England than a lobster roll. Whether you\u2019re getting one at a sit-down restaurant or a seaside shack, it\u2019s a sure thing you\u2019ll be back for more.<\/p>\n

11. The Fluffernutter Is The Greatest Sandwich You\u2019ve Never Heard Of<\/h2>\n

\"32<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User chrismear (cropped)<\/div>\n

Part marshmallow, part peanut butter, there\u2019s nothing closer to a match made in heaven than this regional snack.<\/p>\n

12. Tomatoes And Clam Chowder Don\u2019t Mix<\/h2>\n

\"32<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Simon Shek<\/div>\n

Certain places around the country (cough\u2026cough\u2026New York) insist on stuffing their clam chowder full of tomatoes. Know that doing this in New England is never acceptable.<\/p>\n

13. New England Has A Different Type Of Moxie<\/h2>\n

\"32<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User JeepersMedia<\/div>\n

When it comes to Moxie, New England has plenty. This regional soda tastes unlike anything else on the market. Flavored with gentian root extract, it\u2019s often noted for its bitter taste.<\/p>\n

14. Get Your Hands On A Whoopie!<\/h2>\n

\"32<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User therichbrooks<\/div>\n

Another favorite in New England, whoopie pies are pretty irresistible. They basically consist of two soft chocolate cake buns filled with a creamy frosting, truly a sinfully delicious desert.<\/p>\n

15. Boston Sports Reign King<\/h2>\n

\"32<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User liza31337<\/div>\n

Whether they\u2019re cheering for the Celtics, the Bruins, the Red Sox, or the Patriots, you can count on crazed New Englanders filling the stadiums at the start of each game (except for one weird part of Connecticut that sides with NY).
\nWith teams in the area known for dominating entire leagues, there\u2019s no better place to be a sports fan in the country.<\/p>\n

16. Fall Is Our Favorite Season (And We Know It\u2019s Yours Too)<\/h2>\n

\"32<\/p>\n

Come autumn in New England, the entire landscape turns into a rainbow of colors, as changing foliage turns this area of the country into an entirely different world perfect for everything outdoors.
\nAlso, BTW, if you\u2019re from out of town, you\u2019re automatically a \u201cleaf-peeper.\u201d<\/p>\n

17. Tom Brady Might Be The Best Thing To Ever Happen To Football<\/h2>\n

A great that will be remembered for many years to come, few quarterbacks have ever achieved the level of excellence that Tom Brady continues to perform at. One of the smartest athletes to ever play the game, love for Brady in New England is undying.<\/p>\n

18. Don\u2019t Drink From The Water Fountain!<\/h2>\n

\"32<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Living in Monrovia<\/div>\n

While most people around the country head to the fountain for a drink, New Englanders head for the bubbler. Saying you got a \u201csip from the water fountain\u201d is a sure way to get a few strange looks in this part of the country.<\/p>\n

19. There Are Frappes And There Are Milkshakes<\/h2>\n

\"32<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User roy.luck (cropped)<\/div>\n

If you\u2019re a big fan of ice cream, it\u2019s important to know the difference between a frappe and a milkshake. In New England, frappes have ice cream in them while shakes are just milk and flavoring. Make sure you order what you actually want.<\/p>\n

20. Ben And Jerry\u2019s Solves Any Problem<\/h2>\n

\"32<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User m01229<\/div>\n

A hometown hero in Vermont, Ben and Jerry\u2019s is perfect for satisfying any sweet tooth. Meeting someone that works there is a pretty big deal, as they get plenty of free pints for their own personal consumption.<\/p>\n

21. New York Hate Is A Thing<\/h2>\n

\"32<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Brian Sawyer<\/div>\n

Lots of people in New England don\u2019t like the Big Apple. If an out-of-towner is in for a visit, make sure they know not to talk about how awesome their recent trip to New York City was the entire time.<\/p>\n

22. Bowling Pins Are Smaller Here<\/h2>\n

\"32<\/p>\n

Unless someone is from New England, there\u2019s a good chance they\u2019ve never heard of candlepin bowling. While there are plenty of differences between this and typical bowling, a few of the most obvious changes are the tiny balls and thinner pins used to play this game.<\/p>\n

23. Jimmies On Everything, Please!<\/h2>\n

\"32<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User swambo<\/div>\n

Another regional term, \u201cjimmies\u201d are what New Englanders call colorful sprinkles, proven to make any cookie, doughnut, or scoop of ice cream instantly taste better.<\/p>\n

24. It\u2019s Just \u201cThe Cape\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"32<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User ecgroom<\/div>\n

If an out-of-towner wants to stick out like a sore thumb, they should keep talking about \u201cCape Cod.\u201d Every New Englander knows not to use the full name of this hot spot, here it\u2019s \u201cthe Cape.\u201d<\/p>\n

25. Things Can Get A Little Intense Here<\/h2>\n

\"32<\/p>\n

Source: makeameme.org<\/div>\n

Aggression is a way of life in the larger New England cities, whether you\u2019re driving or just walking. Don\u2019t be too insulted if someone flips the bird at you for apparently no reason. There\u2019s a reason the term \u201cMasshole\u201d is a thing (and we\u2019re all pretty much okay with using this term).<\/p>\n

26. But Don\u2019t Worry, Most Of New England Is Pretty Laid Back<\/h2>\n

\"32<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User alaspoorwho<\/div>\n

While the larger cities in New England can get a bit hectic, most of the region is much more relaxed with plenty of rural towns and farmland (plus all of those covered bridges, red barns and antiques stores you\u2019ve heard of).
\nIt\u2019s the perfect mix of both worlds, sure to have something for every out-of-towner that\u2019s in for a visit.<\/p>\n

27. If It Snows, Life Goes On<\/h2>\n

\"32<\/p>\n

Though some areas of the country tend to shut down at the mere suggestion that flurries might be headed their way, New Englanders are a little tougher than that. Regardless of how much snow is on the ground, people in this region have no problem going about their daily lives.<\/p>\n

28. Skiing Isn\u2019t Just Out West<\/h2>\n

\"32<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User David_Kerwood<\/div>\n

If an out-of-towner is headed to the East Coast during the colder months of the year, they\u2019re in for a treat. While the mountains here might not be quite as big as the ones in Colorado, states like Vermont, Maine, and New Hampshire have plenty of awesome skiing to go around.<\/p>\n

29. Boston Is The Big Kid On This Block<\/h2>\n

\"32<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User monkeyatlarge<\/div>\n

If someone in New England says they’re headed to \u201cthe city\u201d, there\u2019s a good chance they\u2019re talking about Boston. The largest city in New England, Beantown is definitely worth a visit.
\nThe main thing to remember, though, is that \u201cthe city\u201d is (definitely) not New York to us.<\/p>\n

30. They Aren\u2019t Called Roundabouts Here<\/h2>\n

\"32<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr User Matt-Jackson (edited)<\/div>\n

Getting directions can be pretty confusing for an out-of-towner in New England. Not only are tons of city and street names seemingly impossible to pronounce, certain traffic terms like \u201crotary\u201d are unique to the area.
\nWhether a visitor ends up encountering one or not, they should know that in this area a \u201crotary\u201d is just another way to refer to a \u201croundabout.\u201d<\/p>\n

31. Diners Will Change The Way You Eat<\/h2>\n

\"32<\/p>\n

When it comes to eating late, New England does it right.
\nAll across New England, there are tons of 24\/7 diners known for serving up the best American classics around. Next time its 3am and your stomach starts growling, there\u2019s no finer place to sit down and dine.<\/p>\n

32. There\u2019s No Better Place To Grow Up Than In New England<\/h2>\n

\"32<\/p>\n

With beautiful landscapes, tons of awesome people, and some of the best seafood in the world, life in New England is pretty impossible to top. It might not be a tropical paradise or a foreign land, but if someone comes to visit, they\u2019ll be begging to come back before they even leave.
