The Statue is New York. The water around Liberty Island is New Jersey. Then people made the island bigger. 🗽
So who should get the added land — NY or NJ?

It’s official. 📚

NEW YORK DOESN’T MAKE SENSE is now live.

I took 15 of New York’s strangest true stories — hidden islands, impossible borders, abandoned places, and forgotten infrastructure — and turned them into one book.

15 places. 15 explanations. One impossible state.

If you enjoy the strange New York stories I share on Fact Fusion Zone, I think you’ll really enjoy this one.

But if someone from Brooklyn tells you they’re “from Long Island”… that’s a different conversation. 😂

New Yorkers have been arguing about this forever. 😂

So where does Upstate New York actually start?

North of NYC? Westchester? Poughkeepsie? Albany?

Manhattan is only one of five boroughs… so how did it end up claiming “New York” three different ways? 🗽

Did Manhattan earn the name—or steal it?

Brooklyn and Queens are geographically on Long Island—but New York identity says otherwise.

Which one wins: the map or the culture?

Saratoga Springs is the postcard—but it covers only 3.5% of Saratoga County’s land. What place represents the real county?

New York’s original Penn Station wasn’t lost to fire or war. Its owner chose to tear it down after just 53 years—and the backlash helped change how the city protects landmarks.

Would you have saved it?
