she new to town

[Anglika]

Don't scare Anna! She's new to town. I'm trying to make her feel welcome.

I wonder what the difference is between "She's new in town" and the underlined part. Thanks.

While not advocating its use, I think it can be read as saying "she is new[ly come] to town".

"She is new in town" = she is a new person in the town.

"New in town" is certainly the more common usage.
