1 bridge-and-tunnel crowd
амер.; разг.; неодобр.; = btc приезжие; провинциалы (о жителях предместий, приезжающих в крупные города по выходным; первоначально о приезжающих в центр Нью-Йорка, на остров Манхэттен; чтобы попасть на него, нужно проехать по мосту или через туннель)We have to laugh every time we hear club owners bellyaching that they do not want the bridge and tunnel crowd mucking up their all-star venues. — Нам смешно всякий раз, когда очередной владелец ночного клуба заводит старую песню о том, что в его заведении тусуются одни звёзды, и он не желает видеть там приезжих.
All I can say is "bridge and tunnel crowd". I am from London and I can see that the crowd is full of out-of-towners, imagine what a New Yorker must think. — Могу добавить только одно: здесь уйма приезжих! Хотя я сам из Лондона, и то вижу, что посетители в основном не местные. Что уж говорить о нью-йоркцах!
