I have a friend from Westfield, and I've met her high school buddies. For me, it's weird to meet kids from the NY-metro suburbs. They all have that odd blend of old-New York immigrant ethnicness and mall-ified white-hat upscale suburban American teenager-ness. They're like a cross between my Hungarian-Jewish Grandma from the Bronx and the kids you see hanging out at the mall.
