Even down the Hudson (closer to NYC) in cities like Kingston and Poughkeepsie, the residential vernacular and layout is more New England/interior NE... or "Midwestern" as some continue to refer to is as.

NYC (Nieuw-Amsterdam) and Albany (Beverwijck) were established by the Dutch and have had constant exposure to one another for 400 years. Schenectady is newer...and a whole lot shittier.
Yeah, Lower Hudson always struck me as more New England-ish but a lot of eastern NYS does...Utica eastward...
