bridge-and-tunnel
Non-Manhattan New Yorker
Bridge-and-tunnel describes people who commute into Manhattan from the outer boroughs or New Jersey—those who must cross bridges or use tunnels to reach the city.
The term is dismissive, implying suburban unsophistication: The club was overrun with bridge-and-tunnel crowds on weekends.
Often shortened to B&T in New York slang.
