Hmmm, I lived in New York City until I was nearly 13, then my father was
transferred to PA. At the time I thought I was moving to the farm country,
the sticks, and had to be torn, screaming and crying, from my friends in
NYC.

Now you couldn't pay me enough to move back there! For lots of reasons, not
least of which is the fact that there are no good Miata roads in NYC. <g>
New York state, sure, but not New York City.
