Syracuse is in New York. New York is not a part of New England. New England is a region comprising the states of Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island.
today you are correct. but back in the beginning of this country the state of new York was part of new England. in fact, new England came close to seceding from the fledgling country called the united states on two occasions, the most serious in the Jefferson administration when he bought Louisiana. "new England" didn't want all those catholics in the union. new York stymied the movement, new England stayed in the U.S. and new York was not considered new England again.
ergo, your current definition of new England is historically incorrect.

We should have let New England go. People up there are generally miserable.

I think you guys may be exaggerating this point. "New England" was never a thing in the legal sense.

This point is a non-sequitur. It is not related to the question of whether New York was part of New England.
