punkish? And is Elmira really considered Upstate? It's almost on the Pennsylvania border, west of Birmingham.

Am I the only one who tried "Toklas" for the author of "The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas"?

I'm going to second what sadash said. Elmira is considered western NY. I've lived near Albany and Syracuse my whole life, and never would've guessed Elmira. (but it's west of Binghamton, not Birmingham)

As someone who spent much of my high school career as a proud member of the Upstate New York Math Team, which practiced pretty near Elmira, I think I can safely say that Elmira is part of Upstate New York. I've always seen "upstate" used just to mean "not Long Island or NYC metro area" -- western New York is a subset.
