-The northern part of New York north of Albany and in the Hudson River area. Just saying now, Buffalo, Syracuse and Rochester are not upstate. They are in Central-Western New York. -NOT WESTCHESTER, AND DEFINITELY NOT LONG ISLAND! And just to clear this up, not all Upstaters are good-for-nothing hicks. Sure, some are, but everywhere has hicks and wierdos. The only reason that a lot of upstaters don't have jobs is because all the jobs left in the 50's, making New York (the state, idiot out-of-staters) the poorest state per capita. -Upstate is not a crime-ridden slum as several cities, like Port Jervis have displayed to us. People here have manners and common sense. -A LOT prettier than the city, which is more crime infested and poorer (per capita).
