About the same with northwest Pennsylvania
And north central.
Fuck Dollar General.
I, for one, miss you and your mesh shirt and your run-down shop, Marvin Bissel.
I’m european.
What does “upstate” mean?
New York City is located in the southeastern corner of the state, so “upstate NY” means basically everything north/west of the NYC metro area. It’s a word that is pretty much exclusively used for New York.
To further clarify expr’s explanation, most people are familiar with new york only by way of new york city. Shockingly (/s), new york city, a city confined by small island and shoreline with a population of 8 million+, is an entirely different beast than the entire state with a slightly larger population. So people generally differentiate upstate new york with the moniker to explicitly refer to how it is different; mainly being rather rural outside of the ‘minor’ metropolitan areas like albany. The ‘up’ part is because most folks think of north as ‘up’ due to maps being oriented that way.
The majority of the state is actually above NYC
Hence the line, “The ‘up’ part is because most folks think of north as ‘up’ due to maps being oriented that way.”
Nooooo … You were supposed to say "What’s upstate dog?“
Wait… I might be confusing it with something else.
what’s up, state dog?

Just in case you didnt know!
Northern part of the state, it’s not an official description and everyone will have a different definition of where upstate starts.
I wonder if horror movies will eventually drop the old run down gas station for teens to stop at on their way to die and replace them with dollar stores.
We should petition the horror movie guild.
Don’t most zombie movies already have a trip to a store like that?
That is for getting supplies, not for an old sketchy dude to warn them about not going to that cursed lake.
A sketchy dispensary, maybe? I feel like that scene is usually more about getting the beer than the gasoline.
man, that dollar general took over the greatest steamed hams spot in all of Albany.
I live there, and can confirm.
either that or a tim hortons (TIM HORTONS ICED MATCHA LATTE SWEEEEEEEEEEP)
Crazy to me how easy it is these days to Photoshop out a dollar general from the landscape
If you can’t see one from where you are, move a quarter mile in any direction.
Tbh this looks very relaxing, but maybe the grass is greener or somethin’.
Great state parks, excellent rock climbing, and most waterfalls on the east coast. And Dollar Generals.
So upstate New York doesn’t have a Walmart?
UPSTATE NEW YORK MENTIONED
I DON’T HAVE A FUNNY PUNCHLINE !!!
I am proud to drive through upstate NY on the way to skiing or Niagara falls!
Well I’m from Utica and our jokes have punchlines
May I see it?
…No.
WE ARE REAL. WE EXIST.
SOMETIMES IT’S STEWART’S INSTEAD OF DOLLAR GENERAL.
The difference is that Stewart’s fucking slaps.
I am a stew-bag through and through
The goddamn meatballs are my kryptonite.
Best place ever
their ice cream gives me the shits but it’s always worth it for that mint cookie crumble
yeah that’s proper upstate New York, everywhere else will get laughed at if you call it upstate. Tell someone from the Bills Mafia in Buffalo that they’re from upstate and they’re likely to jump through a table defending WNY.

As a Canadian who’s driven through a couple times it really is a weird place. There are some parallels pretty much all over North America but upstate NY really hit me as uncomfortable. It’s hard to tell what anyone does and you can really see the poverty. The poverty and the overabundance of US flags.
In the south its much the same, but lots of confederate and trump flags.
Don’t worry, there’s plenty of confederate flags in UNY and WNY too.
Southerns say its their “heritage”. So… whats new yorkers excuse?
Please do not come to upstate New York, I like being alone. I guess you could burn down some of the mansions if you want to stop by.
