Despite the geographic similarities, and their proximity to eachother, New York was never considered a part of New England. Why was this historically? What sets NY, especially Upstate (with scenic views, small towns) apart from NE?Inevitable-Careerist t1_j4zj4t1 wrote
All I know is, I can tell when I pass from New England to New York by the change in aesthetics of the roads and the towns. New England is quainter.

The Quebecois word for this always made cow poop smell far more appealing, phonetically. Silage. J’adore le silage á New York.

Funny, in English "silage" is grass that has been fermented. Cows love the stuff.

Yep. I suspect it looks much the same on both ends of the digestive journey 🤣

After smelling silage and building word association it becomes a lot less appealing quickly!

I will add that central/Western New York does have a New England feel to it, especially around Buffalo in their suburbs.
