What does "upstate" mean in the US?
I hear it in movies so the time. We're going upstate. I went upstate. Etc
I never hear downstate, or similar. Does it just mean going north?

Def depends where you’re at. In Virginia we call upstate Nova (northern VA). In NJ it’s North Jersey (I’m originally from South Jersey) PA is more east west oriented since Philly and Pittsburgh are east and west ends of the state.
I find Jersey quite silly because there's a distinct North and South Jersey, but then people in the middle still have some ambiguous Central Jersey pride to them
Lol yeah to me central NJ is just Trenton
