>>> Clearly, Upstate begins at Gun Hill Road. <<<
That's understandable for those who lived in my East Side neighborhood, since that was the northern terminus of the 3rd Avenue El. The more adventurous of us went as far as 241st Street on the White Plains Line. Anything north of that was clearly "upstate."
Of course "upstate" was really a more nebulous concept to most of us. We knew it contained such places as Ossining and Dannemora, but not necessarily where they were physically located. The term would be used in a sentence like "Joey's gonna be upstate for two more years." :-)
