The use of this term varies by region.
- NYC + LI: North of the Tappan Zee Bridge.*
- Westchester: North of Westchester.
- Lower Hudson Valley (Rockland, Putnam, etc.): North of Poughkeepsie.
- Albany: North of Albany
* Some people from these areas consider anything North of the Bronx to be upstate. However, (for NYC) they probably have never left their borough, or (for LI) they're jealous because Westchester is essentially a superior version of Nassau County.
All that aside, the technical definition of Upstate New York, as defined by the New York State Department of Tourism, is anything North of southern Dutchess County.

a cookie-cutter upstate new york suburb right between lake george and saratoga. walking around campus is like entering an abercrombie and fitch or the american eagle that just opened up in the mall. but a good majority of kids that live around here are smart and many go off to good colleges (or at least harvard on the hill...ACC!). hockey around here is amazing, as is running. football could be a bit better. it's winter here about half of the year. if you're here, go to dango's or otooles for a good time. lots of ice cream places. there's usually a party going on, and almost all the kids around here drink and have done pot at least once. people here like to think that they're differant from the rest, but it's pretty average. don't expect any surprises.
