^I could see why some may suggest parts of upstate NY resemble New England however it is distinctively different architecturally (not to mention socially and economically) from those areas.

In fact, there is a very clear distinction when crossing into New England, whether it be Connecticut, Mass, or VT, from pretty much anywhere along the New York state line (and vice versa). I live in Fairfield County, CT, only 5 miles to the New York state line, and the changes are immediate and apparent. Portions of southern CT may be looped into the NYC metro area, but it more closely embodies the character of New England than it does New York.
