I grew up in Niagara County, went to under grad in Rochester and Grad School in Albany. I work throughout the entire state, including LI and the NYC.
Western NY is anywhere soda is called POP. End of story on that one.
Secondary WNY test is beer. Buff was always Molson and Labatts. And you cannot not be from WNY and not know what an OV split is. Rochester had OV splits even though they always had pubs like the Old Toad which served them fancy European beers before it was kool.
Upstate is anything north of Westchester and about half of Rockland, though no one really wants To claim Rockland County.
I will take drunk dining at Nick Tahous because, despite what WNY residents want to acknowledge, you can get really good wings outside of WNY. You cannot find the same Nick T's fat to carb ratio on a garbage plate anywhere outside the Rochester area. Although Mighty Taco always seemed like a good idea after a good night out, though it never was.
Best Beef on Weck was at the Alabama Hotel in Oakfield.
Garbage plate from Rochester. Dibella subs as well, but they have expanded from their first shop on Jefferson ave across from Marketplace, to all corners of upstate.
Embarrassingly, I love pastabilities hot tomatoe oil in Syr.
Speedies in Binghamton.
Red front Pizza in Troy or Clifton Park and the Fountain in Albany.

Not too bad. I’ve lived in quite a few spots all over the country. I never thought I’d choose to live in NY, but I love it
Beautiful picsQuote:

Random upstate food & beverage thoughts:
Shit Beer Award = Mountain Brew Beer Ice.
Best Wings & Weck = Bar Bill in East Aurora
Tomato pies are very overrated.
Garbage plates...there are many options, and it's easy to cheat (ex. Chicken Fingers + Fries + Salt Potatoes), but to do it right, you must include burger OR hot dog + mac salad + meat sauce

Letchworth Park is really neat in the fall. It gets less press than Adk and Catskills, the latter I've always thought of as kind of a dump unfortunately.
Six pages and no one talking about upstate secession?
I loved the few times in the daks. Magic land.
Even buffalo and Syracuse seem normal, from a Midwest perspective.
But that shithole overcrowded city? It’s fun when you’re young, but it controls Albany
OTOH. If upstate were it’s own state, it would be more developed. And less charming
PS, can you get Adirondack black flies to invade nyc? That would be awesome
Peekskill has a major semi express train stop on the Hudson line with a massive parking lot. Not upstate.Quote:

There are no arguments accepted because it’s not debatable.
Frank & Teressa called and they would like to speak with you.Quote:

Ok, thanks. I use Windows. Macs are for women and children.Quote:

I tend to agree to a point. Living in Utah for nearly 12 years and WOW....lots of good looking women all over...NY now??? Not as much...Now Manhattan? Well thats a different world normally.Quote:

city market in avon at 5pm is milf central

Start your own thread Dave.
Freddie, 5pm is all the working moms. I see your City Market in Avon at 5pm and raise you Wegmans in Pittsford at 11AM Sat.
I’ll raise you both the Buckhead Whole Foods, or for the 20-30 set, Trader Joe’s at any hour.
But to keep it on topic I’d say the Soho Dean & Deluca produces top notch talent.

It's a fucking supermarket.
I have an in-law that works for their corporate office and he sent me pics of their opening of a new store in Raleigh, NC; you would have thought it was a Billy Joel concert with the crowd outside before opening.
This is very very true. When I was at Cornell I visited a friend attending Vanderbilt. I seriously considered transferring. Night and day.Quote:

What are doing over by Rochester. I thought you lived in Londonderry.Quote:
