Might also help if the OP defined "easy to get to" from NYC.
I generally *don't* think of Asia as a quick/easy trip from the eastern USA. I do think of Europe as doable, especially out of NYC on a nonstop flight (as in, Barcelona).
But I can see where most people outside the Flyertalk bubble would think "easy" means Caribbean at the outer range, or possibly up to a nonstop transcon.
