Geoff pretty much nailed the description. Coming from the 'burbs north of New Yawk City, the megalopolis of NY includes North Jersey - Soprano land. These types of folks typified the "Guido" look. Several beaches along the North Jersey shore were frequented by the Guido type; Belmar, Seaside Heights being the most popular. I have a nephew (German-Dutch) who was a bouncer in Belmar. He referenced Guidos quite often.
