Deleted scene from S4E1 "Season 4"
Why Pennsylvania? Looking it up, it seems that NY only started banning sale of the Confederate flag in 2020.

Maybe a Pennsyltucky joke? Even when they were being sold, finding a Confederate flag in NYC would have been unlikely.
Also, Tina Fey is from Pennsylvania. So she definitely knows about Pennsyltucky.
Pennsyltucky
What? ELIE (explain like I'm European)
It's a portmanteau of Pennsylvania and Kentucky referring to rural parts of the state, specifically Appalachia, being more culturally southern than the rest.
Outside of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is basically Kentucky, which is rural and conservative.
they may have only banned selling them in 2020, but i'd be hard-pressed to find a place within 100 miles of the city selling them, even back in, what, 2012 (?) when this ep aired. sure, maybe there were, but PA would be the first place i'd think to go.
or Staten Island, but fuck SI. at least PA is pretty and doesn't smell like a toilet.
