The Official Argue About Where Upstate NY Is Thread

[Danno]

Yeah I think you at least gotta get out of Westchester before you're Upstate,

this is the dividing line. Westchester is Westchester. Anything north of that is upstate. As someone who grew up in the city, I know that this is the correct answer.

Rockland County is really the only place up for debate, but most of us are mostly unaware that it even exists, so maybe we don't have to debate it.

[Danno]

and maybe folks in Western NY don't want to be called upstate, but to someone from the city, you're either in the city, in one of the outer boroughs, on Long Island, in Westchester, or upstate. End of story.

Again, with the odd exception of Rockland Cty.

Is there beef between Rochester and Buffalo?

Maybe which city has better drunk food?
Jim's Steak Out vs Nick Tahou Hots...that's a tough one, but I'd go with Jim's.

? Is it even New York at that point or is it all just Buffalo-south or Erie-east?

Buffalo, Canada. Get it right.

Rockland has Harriman, and if you can step on a rattler or see a bear, you are upstate.

I can't argue about the Western border because like most people from NY, I have never been there.

I'd be down to taste test some upstate drunk food.

In related news I see they just opened an Anchor Bar in a suburb of Atlanta, so maybe Upstate is more of a state of mind rather than a place?

Would you look at that vast wasteland west of Stewart's.

[Timberridge]

Stewarts is scared of something there.

The beef is on weck.

I think the better question is; where does downstate NY start?

[BmillsSkier]

Bills Mafia for one, no doubt.

I think the better question is; where does downstate NY start?

Where Genny Cream sales stop?

I'm in the ROC and we like it that way. Stay the fuck out of Western NYS. There's nothing to see here. But Buffalo is fine. You can go there as long as you stay west of Batavia.

TR coming next week

I'll get to the bottom of this

[Timberridge]

Attica isn't far from Batavia.

I just KQ'd some info on the interwebz. Apparently one of the prisons in Fishkill is called

I'm really confused now.
