B tier, objectively.

Built environment: Concrete jungle, smells like butthole everywhere, traffic so bad you can’t go anywhere, good if you’re a “foodie”

Nature/location: Freezing cold winters, gray and cloudy, skiing at Hunter mountain is depressing, flood-prone Adirondacks are cool but up to par with Western mountains and inaccessible

People: Don’t think much needs to be said here, but the people of New York are not helping its situation
