Goshen here. Maybe part of the upstate designation should be if towns are different from villages? I live in the Town of Goshen, we also have the "village" of Goshen, which to many, is just an actual town, shops, food, etc. Florida is next door and my lawyer is in Warwick.

I got it! I just figured out how we're going to designate The Upstate from everywhere else. It's brilliant I tell ya....

A little sluggish on the uptake here.
Stone walls. Somewhere around central Westchester they pretty much fade away. Therefore I posit that where stone walls stop becoming a thing is the line. Sorry that doesn't work on the west side of The River but it works here (and since here is where I am here is what counts).

That just denotes the very rare eastern upstate line, IMO.
Didn’t we roughly discuss the theory of where Wegman’s ends in the east?
The other way to look at it is that is where New England’s western border really is.Forum Cross Pollinator, gratuitously strident

That's southern Westchester now, pretty much where stone walls fade out. The Eastern Upstate is pretty intense, it's one that most people don't know much about.

We have entertained and possibly too quickly dismissed the "Stewarts Metric®"

The Official Argue About Where Upstate NY Is Thread
Upstate isn’t starting within ~30 miles of Manhattan. We keep letting it creep south and it will be at Yankee Stadium by March.
I’m digging in at I-84

That's a manhattan/LI perspective. Growing up in westchester i always considered somewhere in mid/north dutchess to be the crossover. You could see it unfold driving up 22 or the taconic: suburbs to rural & small town; cars on blocks, etc. But i didn't really feel upstate until i saw the dacks from 87 on the drive up to lake champlain. Lake George, Warrensburg, etc. I think "upstate" is a personal thing based on experience and starting point. But those who say Rochester is upstate or fucking Bedford, i have no place in my world for these miseducated cretins.

This is interesting to me because I was born upstate but now live in the NYC suburbs. When I tell people from the city I went to high school in Troy, they start telling me how they know somebody from near there and while trying to figure out if I met this person it ends up being someone from Buffalo. People from Rockland and Westchester have a better grasp of geography but they don’t consider themselves upstaters. They’re insulted when city people imply that they are. In fact I would bet that most of the Hudson Valley, if asked where upstate was, would name someplace north of them.
I like the analytical nature of this but I just googled it and the whole eastern seaboard is a giant mess of light pollution. There are very few truly dark spots other then the Great Lakes and Adirondack High Peaks. I’m pretty sure the brightest band (It goes roughly from Boston to DC) is wide enough to cover Albany, which may be the most upstate place on the planet.

Ramapo -> Peekskill -> Portchester is a soft line for major light pollution https://www.lightpollutionmap.info/#...FFFTFFFFFFFFFF
I like putting a geographical spin on this. The Palisades are a fine SW to NE boundary, as is the Mohonk / Minnewaska area. The Catskills could be a nice buffer, but I'm not going to push the line that far north.
For the southern Upstate border, our only solution is a mile by mile analysis.

I always *sorta* considered Binghamton as ‘upstate-ish’, but now I consider it Southern Tier.

Arguing about where upstate NY starts is like a perpetual motion machine, it's never going to stop. If only we could harness this energy.
