Things Bridge and Tunnel People Like

Things Bridge & Tunnel People Like:

You know it’s Memorial Day Weekend when the Meatpacking District of NYC also turns into the new Jersey Shore.  Nothing excites the people of Long Island, New Jersey, Queens, Staten Island, etc. (anybody NOT from Manhattan) than “MDW” promoter texts that actually allow the baby Snooki and JWow’s to bring out their Jionnis and Rogers.  Holiday weekend class for an “anything goes” dress code and club etiquette, including all the classic trends Bridge and Tunnel people embody (literally).  Here are the top signs it’s a B&T night in the city.

1.     Patent Leather

Heels, bags, and the most B&T wardrobe staple:  flats.  It’s cute when girls think they won’t get their shiny, nude Tory’s ruined as they take shots from the bottle and chase with cranberry juice.

2.     Animal Prints

You name the animal—they got it.  From the classic cheetah and zebra, to the more exotic snakeskin, any B&T girl will have part of the animal kingdom hanging in their closet.  They are the reason stores like Wet Seal still exist.

3.     Bandage Skirts

Remember the bandage skirt trend that was popular about three years ago?  Yeah, I was still in high school.  B&T people are notorious for taking popular past trends and turning them into trashy classics.  The sign of a true Bridge and Tunnel slut is a printed bandage skirt—normally some tribal or animal print that was purchased for under $10 at Forever 21.

4.     Hoops

You know the saying—the bigger the “O”, the bigger the hoe.  Just because she dragged her boyfriend to the club, doesn’t mean she’s a saint.  Two drinks later and cheetah bra is popping out revealing her rack about ten times worse than it was before.  Not to mention, she can also be found committing some serious girl on girl action with her equally as whore-ish best friend in front of the whole table.   I only speak from experience.

5.     Graphic Bro Tanks

The frat star from Rutgers who thinks it’s appropriate to wear his “I <3 Party, Beach, Summer, Girls, & Food” bro tank to his mixer also thinks it’s appropriate to wear to the club.  Last time I checked we weren’t doing keg stands or playing beach volleyball so man up, de-douchebag yourself for once, and put a fucking button down on.

6.     Michael Kors Anything

Watches, bags, patent leather bags, shoes, anything MK is how to get into any B&T girl’s heart.  They feel especially proud when they can sing along to Nicki Minaj’s song “Dance” : “You fuckin' lil whores // fuckin' up my decors // couldn't get Michael Kors, if you was fuckin' Michael Kors!!”

7.     One Armed Sleeves

For some reason, when people not from New York City go out for a wild night of partying and clubbing, they think they need to dress like they are also going to Prom.  Spotting a girl sporting a one-armed sleeve dress is just targeting the question:  Where are you from? (Because we know it’s not New York City)

8.     Champagne and Cranberry Juice

Bitches be like “Oh My God, we are poppin’ bottles in the club!”  Literally half of the B&T population is underage, so sipping on champagne is ten times classier than taking shots of Burnettes at the house party they were at last weekend. 

9.     Blazers

The blazer that the B&T bitches where to work on their commute into the city can also double as a cute jacket to hit the club.  A black blazer is a staple in any B&T girls closet, along with her patent leather heels and bandage skirts.

10.   Party Busses

Whatever the night of the weekend it is, Bridge and Tunnel posses love to travel in packs via party bus.  Their wild night in NYC, which is considered an average night of partying for any local, starts off with a pregame party bus ride through the Lincoln Tunnel.  The girl found hanging on the stripper pole at 1Oak was probably also riding the pole during the pregame.

Any Bridge and Tunnel member will most definitely be found wearing a combination of the things listed above.  So next time you are at the club on a Saturday night or during a holiday weekend, and the crowd seems to be three shades darker and more tattooed, it’s a B&T night.  Embrace the guidos and embrace the blowouts.
