You just forgot one more reason - although it´s to a much lesser extend: when you´re a helicopter fan it´s one of only 3 places worldwide to fly on a Sikorski S-76 for a "reasonable" amount of money. Since there are only a few public scheduled helicopter services in the world !

And i am one of the few excited enough to be crazy enough to do it.
Despite the fact that i´ll still be able to fly with S-76 in the future (at least in NYC or maybe Vancouver for a lower amount of money). I´ll be travelling to the U.S. for the first time next year so NYC is likely ...
