What is New Rochelle?
1.
A city of 72,000 in the suburbs of New York City. Borders New York City (The Bronx specifically) by water but not by land. Consists of two very contrasting parts. The northern half of New Ro is Wykagyl which is an upper middle class snobfest with this gay chain deli called Cosi which looks like Starbucks and caters to country club Westchester types. The southern half of New Rochelle, downtown, is run-down and depressed. Not much here besides New Roc City, a large entertainment complex with a movie theater charging $10 per ticket. Singer Don McLean grew up here and New Rochelle is said to be the home of American Pie. Actor Ossie Davis is a current resident. Also, Matt Dillon was born in New Ro but grew up in Mamaroneck, the next town up the sound.
Why the fuck does slangdefine now REQUIRE examples? OK, they just said that first sentence was too short and Now this is pissing me off.

New Rochelle, a large town near the Bronx, which is considered upstate to some??? The large population of Jewish residents in the North End make up the wealthy part of town, going south behind Iona college becomes the middle class, the italian/irish population grows and further south down by Glen Island and behind Main Street, the population has a lot of immigrants, it becoames very commercial. Basically the city is horrible, the city itself is very poor and has a high crime rate in certain areas.
