I live about 2 hours north of NYC. I also lived in LA (Santa Monica) for 4 months about 15 years ago.

When I think of NYC, I think of Manhattan and how crowded it feels, maybe because of all the high rises. LA didn't feel as crowded but very spread out.

There are beaches near NYC. There are some decent beaches within a couple hours in New Jersey and in Delaware.

There are state parks with hiking, camping, boating and fishing within a couple hours of NYC, and a couple rivers with whitewater rafting, one in Pennsylvania, near Jim Thorpe and then along the Delaware river.

The Catskill mountains, near where I live are a couple hours or so from NYC. There are a few ski resorts here, but nothing like the ones in Vermont

NYC does get cold in the wintertime, and does get snow. Summers can be hot and humid.

NYC is the only city I know of where you pay federal, state, and city income tax.
