Rhode Island: The Tiny State That’s Definitely Not NYC
So, you’ve been wondering, is Rhode Island part of New York City? Let’s clear this up once and for all.
Rhode Island: The State That’s Trying Really Hard to Be Bigger
Rhode Island, affectionately known as "Rhodey" to its residents and "That tiny state next to Massachusetts" to everyone else, is not part of New York City. It's a state in its own right, thank you very much. It's like saying Delaware is a borough of Philadelphia. Or that Vermont is just a really cold neighborhood in Boston. It’s a big, bold, independent state with a population that's probably offended by the very suggestion.
NYC: The City That Thinks It’s Bigger Than a State
Now, New York City, on the other hand, is a different story altogether. It's a city that thinks it's the center of the universe. It's where dreams are made, and rents are astronomical. But even with its delusions of grandeur, it hasn’t managed to swallow up the entire state of Rhode Island. Yet.
So, to recap:
- Rhode Island is a state.
- New York City is a city.
- They are two completely different things.
