A place that wishes it was New York City. People from Upstate often get offended when people refer to New York City simply as "New York" because it makes them feel left out.
Everything north of New York's suburbs is Upstate New York. UPSTATE IS NOT 'EVERYTHING NORTH OF ALBANY' b/c New York is the capital of the world and nobody cares about upstate, face it already!!!

Big Pun along Billy Danze and Lil Fame (the latter two comprising M.O.P.) are new york giants; a head and shoulders above the industry, the game, new york, and the world.
Possibly inspired by the football team of the same name.
The song appears on Pun's posthumous album Yeeeah Baby
"New York giants
Leave 'em brainless!
Hit 'em with the stainless!
It's the world famous!"

when older/ lamer people on either the west coast or in mountain time celebrate the New Year with New York at 9:00 or 10:00 respectfully
my parents are lame, they made us celebrate the New York New Year then went to bed at 9:15
a baseball team that always gets beaten by the new york yankees, despite having a winning record against other teams.
before the red sox won the world series twice in 2004 and 2006, they were regular members of the new york spankees!

Upstate is a place where you have to drive your pickup 20 miles to buy a Sears, Roebuck suit or Gingham dress at a local Walmart. Upstate is sterile, it's a fucking joke.
Once I went to Nassau County and everybody somehow knew I was from the Big City.

A town in New York, about 47 miles from New York City. The town is very small, but they have really good food. It's not true about what people say about us, we are not all, druggies, filled with std's, and guidos. Yes, if you say things, we might overreact, but you learn your lesson to not say things. There might be a lot of rich people, but it doesn't mean we think about ourselves all the time. It's not true that we are uneducated people. Yes, this might be a boring place sometimes, but most of the people here are friendly, if your nice to them. It's not Upstate New York. It's right next to Poughkeepsie, and Westchester. Not to far from the city, we have an nice lake, and we have nice houses. A lot of people actually tell us we're really cool people. We actually have cool accents (New York City/New Jersey accents) So it's not true what people say about us.
We actually have experience.
Guy from Mahopac, New York: "Hey bro, what's up?
Other guy: "Hey Man, where you from?"
Guy from Mahopac: "Mahopac, New York!"
Other Guy: "Cool! I've heard good things, and bad things about you guys, but I personally think you guys are really cool!"
Guy from Mahopac:"Thanks Bro!"
