Hmm, Google do treat TLDs very sensibly for their country specific websites, at least in the UK I get pretty smart results including .co.uk stuff. I think that's based off the fact I search from google.co.uk, which they automate a redirect to - not sure if they could do that for NYC residents as easily. That said, I'd speculate that Google will deal with these new ones intelligently. Not only because they have a huge amount of applications for them, but also because if they do take off it'd be silly for a search engine not to be dealing with them appropriately.
