Bridge and tunnel (B&T) is a somewhat snobbish Manhattan term for people who come into the city from areas you need to cross a bridge or tunnel to reach — New Jersey, Long Island, Staten Island, and other outer areas. It implies they're less sophisticated or out of place in Manhattan's nightlife and culture scene.

Bridge and tunnel（B&T）是曼哈顿人带有优越感的说法，指那些需要过桥或穿隧道才能进城的人——来自新泽西、长岛、斯塔滕岛和其他外围地区的人。暗示他们不够时髦，在曼哈顿的夜生活和文化圈里格格不入。
