Descriptions I always use that never work:
1 - Orange County - too many of them in this country, and even in Manhattan no one seems to know where it is. Every time I use it, I have to add on the "New York", and then it still doesn't work.
2 - Upstate - only valid in the New York metropolitan area, and always requires elaboration - see #1.
3 - Downstate - I use this one whenever I'm up here in "Central New York" - see #2.
4 - New York - "Oh, you mean the city?" - ugh!
5 - near Newburgh - only a select few know where Newburgh is. West Point sometimes works.
6 - Washingtonville - not a chance in hell.
