So when you come into a plane to NYC you land in Queens, which is one of the five boroughs of NYC. What do you see on the highway? A sign that points you in the direction of NYC!! I lived in Queens most of my life and the city doesn’t even give me credit!

New York is a huge state full of nature and beauty. I’d love to go visit the Adirondacks.

I’m originally from Buffalo, NY – excellent theme! I used to get the same response you did….when you tell people you’re from NY, they automatically assume NYC! haha

Thanks for hosting, and for including my article.

The state of New York is certainly a story of contrasts, as life is quite different depending on where you are. The perception of the whole state being just like the NYC area is funny:)

Thanks for hosting, Kyle! I used to hear stories about how gorgeous Upstate was, even more than how fun and exciting the city was. Glad to hear further confirmation.

Thanks for picking my article as an editor’s choice, Kyle! I’m glad you found it interesting.

Regarding upstate NY – I had a friend in college who lived just north of NYC. He hated it when I’d tell him he was from upstate NY. I told him anything north of NYC was “upstate”.

I used to travel to upstate NY(Rochester, Buffalo) with my retail job, althougth because I was working so I didn’t really get to a chance to explore.

Thanks for hosting and including my article.

Great collection of links and nice photos! The Lake Placid area is my favorite destination for rock climbing. Since I live close to New York City, it is fairly easy for me to get to Lake Placid, where I enjoy multi-pitch climbs and ice climbing in the winter.

Nice, I’ve never been to New York myself.

Thanks for putting this together and including my post!

I live close to the border, yet I’ve never been to any of these places. Shame on me. Thanks for the mention though.
