I'm from Upstate (Utica) and "the city" is NYC but I can't speak for Buffalo or Rochester but they are big enough to be their own "the city".

I find it odd that Houston, Cincinnati, lower Mississippi, Nashville, Memphis and the Carolinas are "warm pockets" whose residents supposedly frequently refer to NYC as "The City".

Miami / South Florida makes sense to a degree due to the high level of migration between that area and the Tri-State.
Other than perhaps NYC transplants, no one here refers to anything but Houston as "the city".
