Unfortunately, the only time anyone from Long Island makes news, it the Amy Fishah's the Joey Buddafookoos, the Carolyn McCarthy's...
It depends upon where you were raised...when I go to areas where the LI accent is thick, I tend to 'break out' the accent a bit. Not everyone around here speaks like Ralph Maccio in My Cousin Vinny. But I gotta admit, Joe Pesci & Marisa Tomei did NAIL the accent beautifully
The Bahstin Brahmin doesn't have an accent, yet Ted Kennedy's is as thick as Chivas...er-ahh Chowdah.
All depends upon the area in which you were raised...
