New York the state or NYC?
In my experience people in the Northeast US pretty much never refer to New York City as just 'New York'. New York will mean the state, they will say 'the city' or 'NYC' to differentiate from the state. Or they will say upstate to mean the rest of the state outside of NYC metro area.
