If you don't mind not getting upgrades it wouldn't really matter that NYC is a hub and can be elite heavy at times, but you may be surprised to receive a few upgrades to the locations you travel to as they tend to be less elite heavy than most.
+1 with the new DL T4 at JFK finishing up and increased LGA operations, DL is the future for NYC. Also, I've been getting upgraded even on elite heavy routes like JFK-SEA and LGA-ORD as an FO, so I would say DL is increasing inventory in NYC.
