Well according to the Billy Joel song, Billy the Kid is from Oyster Bay, which is just a few towns over to the left.
Quote:

From a town known as Oysterbay, Long Island
Rode a boy with a six-pack in his hand
And his daring life of crime made him a legend in his time
East and west of the Rio Grande

So remember: THE AMAZING RACE, Wednesday nights on CBS, 9:00 PM EST. Their names are Teri and Ian.

:D

Yes!! Yes!! They finished second. Not bad, not bad.
