I always thought Northeast Corridor folks go to the Atlantic coast.
Having just spent the week in Miami (mostly downtown, Coral Gables and Aventura), it seems every single non-Hispanic white person is either Jewish or Italian and from NYC or somewhere nearby. If the last name isn't Hispanic, it's Israel, Schwartz or Marino.
You hear about as many New York accents as in Brooklyn, at least among non-Hispanic whites. It's kinda crazy. Everyone is speaking Carribean Spanish, Haitian Creole or New Yorkese.
