Has nothin to do wit us nyc goers (bx stand up). Upstate new york actually starts after southern westchester. The Bronx used to be part of westchester. So, westchester couldn't possibly be upstate. Not that I care because Westchester is a shithole just like every other place outside of city walls. The only places in westchester that get respect from me (they aren't in the "westchester shithole" category) are: Mount Vernon, Yonkers, and maybe white plains.
Jesus Christ Northern westchester really is upstate new york, i went on a trip to Chappaqua and i saw a moose!!

A mountainous version of the Midwest. Country life at its worst. Upstate is very distinctive looking from other similar areas (Western Pennsylvania, the Midwest, New England) and it all looks exactly the same.
Two places upstate 50 miles apart look more like each other than two places in Yonkers two BLOCKS apart.

People who live above White Plains are obese toothless hicks who live in a boring provincial area and have never seen the lights of the big city.

To people from BK, Queens, and Shaolin, anything north of BX. To people from Harlem, da Heights, and BX, anything north of Yonkers. To people from Yonkers, Mount Vernon, and southern Westchester, anything north of Tarrytown/Sleepy Hollow and White Plains. C'mon face it, Peekskill and Valhalla are NOT part of NYC Socially or Geographically.
Riverdale people are scared of people from southwest Yonkers

Any part of the New York State aside from the five boroughs of New York City, which are, in order of importance: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, and Staten Island.

Nobody gives a flying fuck if you live "near The City"; Long Island, Westchester County, Rockland County, Orange County, Dutchess County, Albany, and the like are all part of Upstate New York State.
Massapequa is Upstate New York.
Riverheads is Upstate New York.
Nyack City is Upstate New York.
New Rochelle is Upstate New York.
Watertown is Upstate New York.
Buffalo is Upstate New York.
The Oysterbay is Upstate New York.

Upstate New York is a cultural wasteland of social decadence. I pity the poor souls who failed to live in New York City and instead had to settle for the dull country life of upstate New York.

Noun. A place that isn't NYC and isn't downstate wigger-town. Filled with Hicks and half-witted douchebags who'd rather ride their "sleds" than have a nice chat about theories or do a crossword puzzle.
Me : *Pant, Pant, Pant*
Bro : "Hey, What happened?"
Me : "I said something bad about their tractors and *sleds* and all the sudden they started chasing me."
Bro : "Well, what do you exect, we're in Hicktown, UPSTATE NEW YORK."
