I draw a man-made boundary for Upstate and Downstate NY, which I consider to
be US 6 roughly.  I grew up on Long Island though, before going to Oswego
for college.  I have friends up in the North Country who consider even
Watertown to be Downstate though.  But then again, you have further
divisions in New York as well.  Anything west of State Route 14 I consider
to be Western New York (Buffalo, Rochester, Niagara Falls).  Oswego is part
of Central New York, etc.
