did i mention the no permit needed to float rivers thing?

Yeah, NY isn’t for everyone but it’s where I’m from. I’ve lived in Plattsburgh, Oneonta, Goshen, Loudonville, Menands, the Bronx, Mohegan Lake, Montrose and now I’m in Rockland County for almost twenty years already. Shit.

Albany/Delmar, Ithaca, Manhattan, Rochester, North Creek, Westchester.

Shit man, you been to the Nov in Oneonta?

I was so smacked one night I followed my buddy in there thinking it was just another bar.

That's right! There's nothing interesting between Cortland and Geneseo. Just trailer parks and meth labs. Bumblefuck US.

You're not completely wrong, but both Cortland and Geneseo are south of I90.

All sarcasm aside, I'd imagine that the most accurate boundary between downstate/upstate would be the TZ bridge. The southern chunk of Rockland east of 17 and south of 287, and westchester south of 287.

I went to Rochester for grad school. It was the opposite ratio for me.

The 390 was made for the migration of male students from RIT and U of R to make the weekly Friday night migration to Geneseo. Is the In Between (IB) still open?

Black Rock, Kenmore, Brockport and Rome. There are things I miss, but not enough to consider moving back.
My college roommate was from White Plains and said anything North of Westchester county was upstate.

If we’re posting UC pics, I have to participate... While camping down the road from the greatest (also most defiled) swimming hole in the state

I grew up in Niagara County, went to under grad in Rochester and Grad School in Albany. I work throughout the entire state, including LI and the NYC.

Western NY is anywhere soda is called POP. End of story on that one.

Secondary WNY test is beer. Buff was always Molson and Labatts. And you cannot not be from WNY and not know what an OV split is. Rochester had OV splits even though they always had pubs like the Old Toad which served them fancy European beers before it was kool.

Upstate is anything north of Westchester and about half of Rockland, though no one really wants To claim Rockland County.


I will take drunk dining at Nick Tahous because, despite what WNY residents want to acknowledge, you can get really good wings outside of WNY. You cannot find the same Nick T's fat to carb ratio on a garbage plate anywhere outside the Rochester area. Although Mighty Taco always seemed like a good idea after a good night out, though it never was.

Best Beef on Weck was at the Alabama Hotel in Oakfield.

Garbage plate from Rochester. Dibella subs as well, but they have expanded from their first shop on Jefferson ave across from Marketplace, to all corners of upstate.

Embarrassingly, I love pastabilities hot tomatoe oil in Syr.

Speedies in Binghamton.

Red front Pizza in Troy or Clifton Park and the Fountain in Albany.

I’m glad I live in the “epic mountains” part of the first map, in Northern NY. Not upstate [emoji23]
My kids grew up skiing here...
And this is a hike out of our front door. No car required


Not too bad. I’ve lived in quite a few spots all over the country. I never thought I’d choose to live in NY, but I love it

Beautiful pics

Agreed - the 'Daks are beautiful country. The High Peaks are great (18 46ers down!), but it's also a paddling and fishing paradise.

Random upstate food & beverage thoughts:
Shit Beer Award = Mountain Brew Beer Ice.
Best Wings & Weck = Bar Bill in East Aurora
Tomato pies are very overrated.
Garbage plates...there are many options, and it's easy to cheat (ex. Chicken Fingers + Fries + Salt Potatoes), but to do it right, you must include burger OR hot dog + mac salad + meat sauce

Letchworth Park is really neat in the fall. It gets less press than Adk and Catskills, the latter I've always thought of as kind of a dump unfortunately.

[Core Shot]

Six pages and no one talking about upstate secession?

I loved the few times in the daks. Magic land.

Even buffalo and Syracuse seem normal, from a Midwest perspective.

But that shithole overcrowded city? It’s fun when you’re young, but it controls Albany

OTOH. If upstate were it’s own state, it would be more developed. And less charming

PS, can you get Adirondack black flies to invade nyc? That would be awesome

[Benny Profane]

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.

Peekskill has a major semi express train stop on the Hudson line with a massive parking lot. Not upstate.

Best wings are at Tony’s Pizza in Washington Mills of all places. I’m serious. It’s not close.

There are no arguments accepted because it’s not debatable.

Btw, how does one do an umlaut on a US keyboard?

Windows you use the Alt key and the extended character decimal number- but you must use the number pad and not the numbers across the top of the keyboard (above 127 where the regular character set ends)... https://spreadsheeto.com/wp-content/...odes-table.png
