I was on the phone once and im talking to some random dude in westchester county, and i tell my friend, yea im upstate, he starts laughin his ass off and goes dude were like 20 minuoutes outside the city.

Its funny what "we" the people who live inside nyc (not including staten island and eastern queens) consider to be upstate. its really anything where the train dont go.

And when you say "the city" you mean Manhattan.

That always cracked me up when I lived in Brooklyn. 

When people would say they are going to the city I would tell them that they are in the city and they would argue. 

Then when they would say they are going to Long Island I would tell them that they are already on the island.  I even had to show some people a map to prove that Brooklyn and Queens were part of Long Island.

silentbob, born and raised in brooklyn?

I lived in NY most of my life.  I moved out in 2000 to CA, moved back in 2001, and moved back to CA in 2003.

If in a borough other then manhatttan, you say the name of the borough, if it is brooklyn, i just say the neighborhood.
If in midtown, its called the city.
If in downtown, say how far you are from china town, brooklyn bridge or battery park.
If in LES, then you're in the east or west village. or usually You just say xx blocks from houston/bleeker/etc big name streets
Anything past 100th streetfollows the same rules as brooklyn neighborhoods.

Thats pretty much what everyone i know uses.

You are upstate.  Yonkers is not.  Then again, to a true Manhattanite, the Bronx is upstate
