Also not to be underestimated: Straits Sling, Saratoga, Brooklyn and Bronx. This set me thinking about whether one can drink all 5 boroughs: sadly, the only Queens Cocktail I've found seems to be the reprehensible "perfect martini" plus a slice of pineapple (perhaps a snide comment on the borough by a outsider), and the only Staten Island I can find is a Staten Island Ferry, which may tell us, once again, about the Manhattanite's perspective.
As for New York's true dark twin, I fear I must join both New Yorkers and Hollywood in recommending you steer away from Jersey City.
