The people who told me Tri-State included PA were all from New Jersey and went to school in Philadelphia, New York City, or elsewhere, so this makes more sense to me as I was on the receiving end of their perspective. Also Connecticut doesn't touch New Jersey and my construct of Tri-States is all of them touching (example Idaho Oregon Washington; Montana Idaho Wyoming). Long Island is protecting Connecticut from New Jersey.
At least I knew the borough thing was all wrong
