Moving to Upstate New York from NYC

Similarities: Brews and Foods

While there are significant differences between NYC and upstate NY, they are both still areas in The City That Never Sleeps. Craft breweries are trending big-time in both areas, so don’t worry about missing out on the latest IPAs while venturing upstate. Whisky distilleries and vineyards are also prominent, so have your wine glasses ready to go. Foodies also need not worry, the entire state of New York has amazing places to eat some of the best meals of your life. With the Culinary Institute of America located upstate, delicious food is never far away.

Differences: Worlds Apart

While NYC and upstate NY are in the same state, they still have significant factors that separate them from each other. First we will start with the least exciting news: Property taxes in upstate NY are higher than those in the city. However, many small towns with charming streets and antique stores are scattered around the upstate area. Many of these towns have a Woodstock hippie vibe, and hikers will be thrilled at the many trails waiting to be conquered and climbed. Overall, upstate features much less of the trademark hustle and bustle of NYC, but still retains the spirit and history of the Big Apple.
