Upstate???
That might as well be New Jersey!!
Upstate is like Syracuse.
BTW we just saw Bruce there (the trick to getting great seats at a good price).
Quite the show.

I grew up in Nyack, southeast of Tuxedo Park, and people in NYC referred to it as being upstate. It's like that Steinberg cartoon, only north/south.

Next you're gonna say Bill and Hillary live in upstate (although I don't really know where they live. We get turned back at county border. They don't rightly take to our kind there).

When you've lived in Brooklyn as long I did, anything above mid-Bronx is "Upstate."
But I was going for the predicate adjective "upstate" as a direction, as in "further up the state."
Now I go to Nyack much more often than I do DUMBO.
Although at the moment I'm in WV, disguised as a non-Yankee for safety reasons.
I don't think UARS exists in this state.
Much like Costco.
