This used to annoy me when I lived in Hoboken NJ. Often “nearest store” searches etc would suggest that Manhattan (or even Brooklyn) were the closest, and as the crow flies that is true. However, as anyone who has tried to get from Hoboken to Brooklyn will attest, even much further distance in the same state is far easier to get to, and was the option I was looking for, since I could not (reasonably) fly to Manhattan. That said, I’d take Suffern NY over south Jersey, so by state isn’t ideal either.
