Number 8 confuses me. That map shows the 5 boroughs, but doesn't explain the 3 regions. Are the 3 regions New York City (all 5 boroughs), Long Island, and Upstate?
See #9 and the difficulties with a New Yorker's math proficiency...
Ah, how could I have doubted you, Neil? That's so brilliant and I'm embarrassed I missed it.
I love the downstate way of thinking of everything aside from NYC and Long Island as "upstate," and grouping Western NY in with all that stuff that's way way way up North and all that stuff that's only slightly North of the city. I used to think that way too, before I moved way the heck out here.
The differences between Plattsburgh, White Plains, and the Rochester/Buffalo/Syracuse area are far more staggering than the difference between New York City and Long Island.
I, personally, think the state should be broken up in to two sections: 1. Has Wegmans 2. Doesn't.
The Coyote State? Both of them? No shit?
