We ALWAYS say go down cellar. I'm from a community of German

I don't know about "go down the cellar", but in southern New Jersey
people "go down the shore" instead of "go to the beach"

My partner is from Prince Edward Island where "go down to the
basement" is in use.

Here's another one--what's that big soft thing you sit on in the
living room? To us it's a couch, but my grandmother calls it "a
chesterfield."

My US Midwest (central Indiana) grandmother called it a "davenport",
while my other grandmother, also from the US Midwest (western Iowa),
called it a "couch".
