Nueva Yol

The place an average Dominican refers to when someone they know leaves for the United States (due to the massive Dominican diaspora in New York City, the name often stands in for the entire U.S. regardless of the actual location).

1: Bro, I was in Minnesota. 2: What? Where the hell is that, man? 1: That is near Nueva Yol. 2: Ah, well speak my language then.
