No, no. It's much more fun to sprinkle this discussion throughout unrelated threads.
Although it does not help to establish a defined area.
Listen up assholes. Stay out of western NYS. That means anywhere past the Orange Dome. We like it quiet over here.
It's easy. Anywhere north of commutable distance to NYC.
I-84 is the cutoff

What do you define as a commute? I mean in 1.5 hours and a cheap flight, pre-covid I worked in NYC all the time and returned the same day. Many times beating my co-workers home who lived in LI and NJ. Does this mean your theory of NYC extends the entirety of the eastern seaboard is correct?Quote:

anything north of white plains is upstate.
Honestly, you're the first to go this far south.Quote:

110th Street.
I noticed the owner of Tiz The Law isolated himself Upstate to watch his horse win the Belmont this weekend.
The horse itself is from Hudson, New York which I believe is far enough north to be Upstate.
Anywhere with a Stewart's.
This map poses more questions than it answers.Quote:

The map above isn't very instructive.
I'll give it a shot. I-81 from Bungholehampton north.
Yeah, good line there.Quote:

So if everything west of the western-most Stewart's isn't Upstate, what kind of lawless region is it? Is it even New York at that point or is it all just Buffalo-south or Erie-east?
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.Quote:

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.
Maybe which city has better drunk food?Quote:

Would you look at that vast wasteland west of Stewart's.
Stewarts is scared of something there.
The beef is on weck.Quote:
