New Hampster is the Northern Boston suburbs. Most of the state's population lives within commuting distance of Beantown. Vermont is New York's bucolic Upper-Upper-Upper East Side and is also the site of its largest hippie reservation.

(Actually in the upstate NY areas adjacent to the VT border or across the lake, the Green Mountain state exerts considerable cultural influence.)

Maine represents the old, flinty, traditional New England of yore. In one sense it could be viewed as the true New England, which is something that Mainers readily point out to anyone from Away.

Also, too, lobsters, LL Bean and New Balance.

"Everyone keeps saying how Scott Brown is "some kind of dick!" Well, Scott Brown and I once touched penis tips together, like *boop*, just accidentally one time at the gym, totally no-homo! But I can say to you now that he's no dick at all!"
