My opinion is NY has many regions...but that's not the answer in the upstate vs. downstate debate
Downstate=South of Poughkeepsie East of Middletown
Upstate=All the Rest
I find it amusing on vacation when people ask where you're from and I say NY...they immediately assume the city, LI, West., Orange, Putnam CTY's.
and show it with negative attitude...once it's made known it's upstate(Capital Region or beyond) the conversation turns much more positive.
Yonkers upstate?
That's just funny right thar!!!
