Upstate is north of Syracuse, or New Amsterdam their proposing to call us when they decide to split the state, so us upstaters can stop paying for downstates problems.

Welcome to R2R!

ha, where i am, syracuse is considered western NY, not upstate. ;Hilarious
i'm north of saratoga, near lake george.

either way, none of us want anything do do with albany and south......;Dead

incorrect, anything from Dutchess County and above is upstate, you can duke it out all you want with the rest of yous over things like upstate, western NY, southern tier etc. To us it really doesn't matter. :)

anyway to the OP, welcome from the great peninsula of Long Island.

Wait?! I always thought upstate was anything not in NYC? As a kid I was told upstate went all the way down to the Pennsylvania border and that the Southern Tier was somehow still considered upstate.

Lol I think we may have derailed a welcome thread by accident.
I’m really, really glad Islandreeftank is here and I’m thrilled to offer a 2nd hearty welcome, but....

Knowing that there are alternate realities of what is considered upstate is not something that I was aware of and this somehow seems to be of existential importance!!! ;Shamefullyembarrased

Really anything north of "the city" is upstate. It's just the city and it's 5 Burroughs that people call NY. Whenever I tell people I meet I'm from NY, they instantly think I'm from some where in the city until you specify upstate.

Ok, I’m good now. Normally scheduled programming can resume now that my existential crisis has been adverted! :oops:

Welcome to R2R!
I live about 50 miles north of New York City. To my friends in the city, I either live "upstate" or "in the country" :rolleyes:
