To New Yorkers (remember: just people from NYC), anything North of the NYC metropolitan area is considered Upstate (so basically anywhere other than NYC or Long Island). Thing is, if you actually live Upstate, you're way more territorial than that. Thereâs Western New York, Central New York, the Southern Tier, and the Finger Lakes, to name a few.
