Right - I'm not sure why NY is being brought up, as it's nearly a part of NE by default locale. The WI/MI and FL ones are the only interesting ones so far.
Speaking for myself, unfortunately it is difficult to discuss thousands of towns in Wisconsin and Minnesota that I have not had to the pleasure of seeing personally!
It would also help if someone named XYZ town, they would give us an idea why they think it looks like New England. And what exactly does New England look like since there is a big difference between the classic small town with a white church and the quaint seaport that everyone thinks of.

I feel like they're obvious difference between upstate NY and New England,
Sure, everywhere is different from everywhere else.
However, it's like asking for "southern-style cities not in in the south" and all the replies are regarding direct border areas in southern MO or whatever. We understand how transistions work. The interest would be in places that look similar, but are outside the region.
Congregational Churches and fall colors are on the only beginning. You also need a Stop & Shop, five Dunkin Donuts in a town of 15,000 people, at least one "Gronk" jersey in every pedestrian neighborhood, lobster rolls at the local Panera, a 99 restaurant, a pizza place or diner named after someplace in Greece, a Herb Chambers auto dealership, a random (sometimes town official) who loiters at the nearest take out restaurant and starts a conversation with everyone who comes to the cash register to pick up their food, an ice cream place that names its flavors after Red Sox/Celtics/Patriots/Bruins players, and a frozen yogurt chain that will close in three months due to lack of business. Bonus points for a Stah Mahket, a Not Your Average Joe's, a Christmas Tree Shop, and a Papa Gino's.
Good points. The western part of upstate NY isn't New England-y. I was thinking of what I've seen north of me.
It depends on the town, as if you look at places like Skaneateles, Marcellus, Geneva, Canandaigua, Pittsford, Brockport, East Aurora, Lewiston, Youngstown and many others, they could fit in.

Like I mentioned earlier, this was more of what I was looking for or thinking of.
