I spent a summer in NYC once as an intern. And, not having a Hamptons option, I was definitely reaching out to Princeton and Greenwich friends on August weekends to visit. And Northeast cities, even into mid-Atlantic, are nothing especially delightful in the winter if snow isn't your thing. That's what I've lived with most of my life and I've been mostly fine with it. But if you're with some version of a Bay Area climate or bust, you may not consider it acceptable. (And even a "Mediterranean climate" gets pretty hot in a lot of places in the summer many places.) There's a reason that people who can afford to and want to put the energy into migrate locales from summer to winter.
