A bit west of the avalanche zone there's Southern Tier. They have some good beers. I see them in NJ stores.

I would never insinuate such a thing. The map is getting better with each layer added; but I fear we may be stoking some tribalism among the "upstate" regions.
True, I once witnessed some pretty depraved shit at the Senaca Casino down the road from E'ville after this guy downed 6 22s of Southern Tier's Pumpking.
Honestly I don't know how you can make it past the one.
Can we update the map for Chautauqua to just say "Ohio"?I still call it The Jake.

Updated. Chautauqua isn't OH, but could be given to PA without blinking an eye.

Thanks, while there is that depressing-ass strip of land known as Erie, PA between Lake Chautauqua and the Western Reserve of Connecticut (otherwise known as Northeast Ohio), It's been my experience that the majority of Chautauqua enthusiasts hail from that state, while only stopping in Erie for the Chick Fil A and to see if the highway is closed across the border due to blizzard conditions.

As someone who grew up in Sullivan County, went to college in Syracuse, I appreciate this thread.
The upstate line basically goes across upper westchester, cuts off about 1/2-2/3 of rockland. But yeah, you guys are close
Many people in Orange County commute down to the city now, but like, nobody from Sullivan.www.dpsskis.com

formerly an ambassador for a few others, but the ski industry is... interesting.
Fukt: a very small amount of snow.

Definitely Upstate, my old home town. Some maple walnut Abbott's custard please.
A few people feel the rain. Most people just get wet.

Erie Canal. Always thought that a government Canal Walker would be a cool job. 1000 Men died of malaria digging the canal through the Montazuma Swamp. Mostly Irish and Italians doing jobs Americans wouldn't do. According to the Syracuse Post Standard article from 1952 that I read.

This is the most truth so far but I just discovered this thread so you all will need to give me a little time to catch up. Not for nothing but most days Rockland FEELS more like a part of the metro area then does Peekskill. Peekskill has a a very upstate-rustbelt-land-that-time-forgot feel to me.

does anyone else want to move back to new york after reading this thread?
I got some friends that didn't get far, they bought a nice older home in a small city in upstate for 45k
there was a 6 story brick building a few blocks away in great shape that sold for 250k all the lead paint and asbestos you could want, but still

Ok, fuck, how did this get 6 pages without me seeing it? FKNA. Western NY is defined as where people say "pop", perfectly illustrated in the previous map. Basically Rochester/Dansville west. That shit is Ohio.
You can tell because the bars change. Outsiders wouldn't notice the difference, but it's there. The patrons change from hopeless to oblivious.
That is essentially how you can tell what part of the state you're in:
NYC and suburbs: irrationally proud about being annoying.
Upstate: hopeless outlook
Western NYC: generally oblivious, don't know how bad they have it
Northwest: frozen into solid iceballs. (Watertown)

That's the right answer. Carry on.
I'm dead serious btw. Out my back door are empty roads and unlimited miles of gravel for biking (stupid hard hills included). Boating. Wine. Beer. >70's start in May and go through the end of Sept when Oct really shines. It rarely gets above 90. Last two weeks have been super sunny. Look, it ain't perfect of course. Winters can suck when it's cold, but no snow. I'd love me some big mountains, but whatchagonnado? But here's the kicker .... this is a quiet part of the world. I've traveled all over this planet. I work for a company in NJ and normally commute weekly to an apartment. Too many people make this planet ugly. Traffic, pollution, empty buildings, trash, you name it ... it's all so aesthetically depressing. I used to rail on NYS taxes and lack of work and modest cultural value in ROC, and the winter blues, etc. But that shit doesn't bother me in the least anymore as long and I just enjoy the simplicity.
So stay away.

It has its pros and cons, like anywhere. There are some things I miss, like beef on weck and weekends on Conesus, but you shouldn't be surprised it ranks low on a gnarbro ski and snowboard forum Sounds like you've found your home, and that's all one can ask for!
At least Buffalo and ROC have stalled, if not started to reverse, the brain drain that impacted the region for ages.
