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.

Get the upstate new york mug.They'll all have three children and marry an affluent man who will support their tennis lifestyle as they purchase a house in Greenhaven. Then, their oldest will go to a boarding school, and the other two will go to Rye Neck. Their son will be on the Rye Neck Football team, and their mother will show up to every game trying to live vicariously through their child and mentally remain in High School. Eventually, they'll die, and they won't have done anything productive, and they'll spend their lives thinking of the 'good times' in High School and hiding their extreme alcoholism.
That kid with the popped collar and pretentious look on his face is probably from Greenhaven Rye New York.

Get the Greenhaven Rye New York mug.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.
