Whats wrong with staying in Garden City??
Well for one whenever I am in Long Island I tend to meet one or two Stuffy folks among the thousands of cool people. And it is 100% worth the effort to stay in Manhatten and comute.
I am from jersey and that's the way we say it. When I am in cape cod I am in cape cod (not on the cape)

From someone who lived in Mass for 45 years, stayed many times at the windmill next to Mass Maritime Academy in Buzzard's Bay and am currently married to someone from Osterville it is 'at the Cape'. As in 'Where were you this weekend?' To the people up there there is only one Cape.

Same thing with Long Island, anyone on Long Island or NYC metro refers to being "on Long Island". But I have a good friend in Lyndhurst, NJ. I'll ask him how he refers to his trips to LI.

Yep, and you either go a lot, or not at all.

I've been at the cape, just barely, twice. And one of those was for work.
