The Official Argue About Where Upstate NY Is Thread

[ex-powderbroker]

the mustard so good they had to name a bridge upstate and downstate after it.

[Brownski]

So now you are placing Mawah, NJ in upstate NY?

Ugh, no. 287 in ny. It leaves half of Westchester and most of Rockland downstate

[Brownski]

Paula’s Doughnuts were crazy by the way.

The plates are sturdy the manager is right out of footloose and it’s definitely fresh cod out of the canal.

You funny mang. Montclair!

Fuck, I'm sold.

They ship?

Ship? Shit. You gotta go upstate, to be Upstate.

Yesterday I actually drove through some Southern Tier towns I’d never been to before.


Not sure if it constitutes peak foliage but ...




If the town names make you scratch your head, you might be upstate



somebody mentioned Roscoe has good fishing



The Southern Tier is part of upstate




Once I reached Buffalo, me and junior explored around the city a little since he’s been more or less stuck on campus. I’m sorry but Buffalo isn’t really a spectacular city as far as I can tell.



We checked out the waterfront. That’s Canada over on the other side there.



As previously noted, we got dinner at the Anchor Bar. Apparently these guys have a dispute with another wings joint called Duff’s regarding who invented Buffalo Wings. I had Duff’s when I dropped Junior off in August so, while I have no idea who invented them, I have concluded that Duff’s is putting out a superior product currently. Anchor Bar was still really good though




Paula’s doughnuts: the secret ingredient is love



The drive from Buffalo to Albany on the Thruway is pretty boring. I got my Albany business squared away and took 87 back south. All good

That looks enticing. We should all meet up over in the condiments thread (it exists) to discuss. I will however, stand behind my rec of the O.G. Stadium Mustard as the world champ as firmly as I did my recommendation of Voodoo Chips that I believe Riser (?) ended up ordering and enjoying.

Paula’s Doughnuts were crazy by the way.

Right? Something about a real-deal, legit donut shop and that mid-fall patchy grey sky takes me back to my youth. I know that place without knowing that place, ya know?

Ship? Shit. You gotta go upstate, to be Upstate.

Then I gotta get upstate.

I'm due to add another couple thousand miles on the car soon anyway. I love a road trip and if they haven't locked down the state to citizens of mine then I'm down.

Go Orangemen!

Almost. Yeah, they’re a little heavy and rich but, holy shit do they taste good. Peanut Butter and Jelly doughnuts for chrissakes

[MakersTeleMark]

I don’t know.



I thought it was ceded to Canada early on in the thread?

It is upstate of the Southern Tier though, so?

Fuck no. I dished out thousands of clams casino in Scarsdale, many thousands from age 11 to 17.

[Brownski]

Shit. You gotta go upstate, to be Upstate.

This may be the most truthy thing ever written

Solid TR. Thanks.

Things still look pretty green up there as compared to m2711c's area in the view right now thread look of the Upstate today.

[MakersTeleMark]

For once and for all, the term "upstate" only comes from someone in the city. Therefore, their max reach is Metro North.

Buffalo, are you fucking kidding me? I'll give you Albany at best. But anything further north is Canada to NYC, and West is not Up.

It is settled. It is a self-centric term created by city folk. The Daks are alone the size of VT. Does not compute to someone in Bensonhurst.

And, I will go on record that everything north west of the hudson valley has shit for food or beer. The wine however.

I dunno about Riser but i ordered a drawer full of those chips on your rec. Stadium Mustard doesn't look that unique, how does it compare to Beaver Mustard?

[ötzi]

The Mohawk Valley has excellent grub food, it's kind of a tentacle of the NY metroplex octopus.

[ötzi]

For the record.

[m2711c]

looks to me like you porpoisely avoided rochester..... in fact, almost none of your trip was even in the upstates. what the fuck?







this scholarly article should definitively settle this argument, once and for all..


Binghamton is not part of upstate New York

People should be aware that it's actually part of the central Southern Tier

My bad muted, I was winging it from memory on who actually ordered. It is in fact unique in that it's the original brown stadium mustard that originated in Municipal Stadium in 1969 and is now served pretty much nationwide. It's made only with brown mustard seed, no sugar, fat or anything else. And it's fantastic.

Much like Buffalo's wings, there is a competing claim and a fracture in the family tree between Stadium Mustard and Bertman's Ballpark Mustard, as to the true O.G. Both excellent though. Upstaters love the shit on their brats n pretzels.

Clevelanders, be them Poles, Slovaks, Germans (both northern and bavarian), Ukranians, Czechs, Irish, English, non-orthodox Israeli, west siders and east siders and Italians all swear by it on their brats, pierogis, red hots, foot longs, kosher dogs, metts and sausages. It's probably the one thing the populous can agree on.

Upstate + mustard? It must be Weber’s.

I love all these pics upthread showing Upstate with the leaves. Yeah it looks great 2 weeks a year, no doubt. I'll give you that.

Some cool photos, thanks. The ones with lots of sky are top notch, the clouds, I dig them.

I have been to a world class tailgate for a Bills game where the only mustard served was Stadium Mustard. Small sample size? Maybe, but I do know that much of the Southern Tier's lakes and mountains are populated by Ohioans so the mustard can't be far behind.
