The Official Argue About Where Upstate NY Is Thread

[huckbucket]

Should that TR go here or get its own thread? Also, it may just be pictures of unhealthy food. I’m under orders to transport some Paula’s Doughnuts to Albany as well

If timing doesn't work out with Paula, Ridge Donuts are stupid. Like, super stupid.

Damnit, Timberridge beat me to it. The question still stands.

Brownski, it's your TR so you make the call, but I think it would be best placed here for ease of cross-referencing and to assist with the development of our ever-evolving map.

This is gonna be a great TR. I'd put it in the Main Forum.

You're not wrong, you know.

I can hear the heads exploding now.

That's a three day skin from ROC over the Genesee pass. Can't be part of this tour unless we switch to sleds. Plus, Doug's.

I've gone further. Especially if there's an apple pie sundae on the other side.

Ha! Now I wish I had more then 48 hours. I’m planning to be home by Thursday night.

We used to get ice cream cones at Jim's in Lackawanna back in the day, they were ridiculously huge and cheap. I just tried to look them up for you but I guess they went out of business. Putting a quart of ice cream on a cone must not be good business.

Well for all the shit I seem to take for living in NC, you’ll be happy to know this resides in my kitchen island. A traveling memento from 25 years ago probably. Was actually served a garbage plate at a business meeting in Rochester once.

Is Pepsi a thing Upstate? Cause that's a problem.

Fuck no. Allow me to clarify. FUCK NO!

Grew up in a Pepsi house and still dislike Coke. RC cola was also very popular in WNY, which you all know is part of Upstate.

Still think the deciding factor is if you had old vienna splits.

OV splits! Many summer days and evenings spent with OV splits at Krull park in Olcott.

Yeah those or a good Genny cream lets me know you're from "upstate". If you say "pop" for soda you're way north and might as well be a Canadian.

Is there a demarcation line for Original New York Seltzer?

I used to make fun of the Rochester cousins for saying “pop”. I thought that was a midwestern thing.

Canal closes for the season tomorrow. That end of the canal is above ground and will be drained until spring time.
Attachment 343366

They drain it? I didn't know that.

Damn, you guys’ timing couldn’t be better. I’m about to run up to Buffalo to see Junior at college. Thursday it’s back East to Albany to drop some crap off to my dad and siblings and then back to Rockland. I’m definitely getting wings for dinner On Wednesday but I may have to track down that Charise for lunch on Thursday

I forgot you live down here. We're gonna have to have a downstate upstate maggot get together.

I think of Pepsi as a New York thing. Seems to be more prevalent for sure. Despite Pepsi being invented in NC even the panthers switched to coke.
Every time I swing through New York for work it’s Pepsi and no free refills.

[Benny Profane]

Oh. You know Jimmy too? Jimmy, the guy who jumped off a bridge into the canal and got his foot stuck in a cow skull at the bottom and drowned.

Wasn't that Tony?

This came up on my feed today via Condé Nast Traveller, via Thrillist (for shame Condé Nast):

Two things:

A) I now know a bar in Saratoga Springs that I will never go to thanks to being the rumored birthplace of Don fucking Maclean’s American Pie, except for the sole purpose of laying a Cleveland Steamer in that very special booth; and

B) Extra Thrillist-listicle points for saying the Miracle on Ice over the Cossacks at Lake Placid was for the Gold Medal.

Do we even know if these places are actually Upstate?

FFS.

The consolation is that Dylan played there pretty much around the same time in his Masters Of War period.

9 Maple is the best bar in Saratoga, the region, and possibly all of outside Manhattan. Saratoga rocks.

And don't go to the Sacandaga. Totally sucks. ugly. Stay away. Do go to Lake George if you want to look down on people.

Thank God they didn't mention Schroon lake. Practically on the highway.

It was Marty, he went in after a 50 cent bucktail

Hungry Charlie's, aka Chucks, in Syracuse had Monday Greatful Dead night with cheap buckets of OV Splits. Pretty much the only time I ever drank them. Good times.

Since we’re talking soda, how about some Stewart’s orange cream. Yum

Buffalo themed food truck delivering the WNY and upstate goods in CO ! Did the classic trio - beef on weck, hot wings and chicken finger sub .
