Cities in the NYC Metro Area by Population

Name the principle cities in the New York City metropolitan area over 50k people by population in 3 minutes.
This is kinda an excuse for me to use the grouping feature I just realized existed.
Data from Wikipedia.com
These are the principle cities which Wikipedia defines as "Principle Cities are generally those where there is a greater number of jobs than employed residents" AKA, this quiz might show where you work, not where you live
