New Orleanians of Irish and/or Italian ancestry have a similar accent. When I first moved here, I used to think there must be a lot of transplanted New Yorkers living here! I have a friend, born and raised in Gretna (the West Bank of the Mississippi River), and every time she travels out of state she gets asked if she's from New York.

Jackie's father was your classic William Bendix-type "Toity-Toid and Toid" kind of guy.

I thought Jeff had a Brooklyn accent.
I do, of a sort. After all, Bernie Sanders, Chuck Schumer and I graduated from the same high school, as did Cap'n Bob's favorite Judge Judy.
Also the Notorious RBG.
