Big part of why I was thinking that. And even after living in New England for 12 years, I still never remember where it ends.

The borders of NYC itself and NJ are the absolute final cutoff, in my thinking. Upstate NY fades out of New Englandism as it gets closer to the Lakes, but eastern upstate is very much New Englandish.

Sort of like southern Virginia is more like the South than the Mid-Atlantic?

"Mid-Atlantic", to me, is just about a myth; I fail to see any unifying aspect of the supposed "mid-Atlantic" states other than geographical convenience. The Mason-Dixon Line is actually a lot more accurate for broad grouping.
Katty:
Not really. Maryland and Delaware have more in common with states above the Mason-Dixon line. So does Northern Virginia. Maybe Mid-Atlantic should just refer to those three. :-D
