Often thought of as New York State's Worst City. Debatable, but certainly not out of the realm of possibility. City of about 52,000. Incredibly lame. Often, the people there have an ironic attachment to their dead city. No jobs at all. No skyline. People there don't seem to like to read, either because their library is open for maybe 10 hours each week.
"Dude, can we stop in Utica so I can get some insulin?"
"I'm afraid not. Utica is a shithole and it is better for you to die than go to Utica."
"You're right."

A sad sad little place in the middle of New York. If cities could cry Utica would have drowned long ago. Its crap. In the summer you can't even sleep. In the winters you lose tons of money due to heating. No one even knows it exists.
Person 1: Hey were you from?
Person 2: Utica
Person 1: Where? I don't think I've heard of that.
Person 3: You lucky jerk

A city in Central New York.
Summers are marked by hot, humid weather; winters by ice, snow that never melts, and -20 degree (F) weather.
Despite its lack of distinguishing features, Utica has several upsides:
1. The recent host of the Simple Plan, Good Charlotte & Reliant K "Noise to the World" Tour
2. The KRock-athon, an annual summer event inviting many of the hottest rock bands for an all day event
3. The Boilermaker, a summer race that attracts hundreds of people world-wide.
When any of these events are not taking place, though, Utica remains just another dusty city that America forgot.
Most, if not all people, want to leave it.

A city in Central New York. A very diverse area- full of Italians, Polish, and refuges. To many outsiders it is a run down, and awful area. In fact, the Utica area is full of things to do and has great character. Some areas are run down, but others are full of life. The area is known for its great food. tomato pie, half moons, and chicken riggies. Many fantastic cafés with delectable pastry’s are popular in the area, and are typically buzzing with customers. Home to the FX Matt Brewery (Saranac Brewery).

A poorly run town full of Citybillies in upstate NY where corruption and incompetence rule.
They can only talk about the mediocre local foods.
Uticans are desperate to pretend they're "up and coming" and will soon be "on the map!"
They live in the past because there is no future there.

City in upstate new york. Hollllaaaa ..... Close to the mountains. Also called the second chance city b/c of the large refugee population; bosnian somalian iraqi. Split into four parts north utica is white, west utica is black, east utica is bosnian and off the boat italians. Lots of polish. All it got is redic foods and a large drug problem. Crack addicts have taken over! Corn Hill is known for prostitutes and dirty run down crack houses. Not the safest place to be at night, taken a turn for the worse. only famous person to come out of Utica is "i love Ny".

A city in Central New York. Can be found on the Top 400 Up and Coming Cities in America list. Brews the worlds finest lager, Utica Club. Though the cultural mecca of New York, Uticans are not familiar with the upstate term "steamed hams."
