That's nonsense, it's a temperate climate and check out some charts. For bad, go live in a place like Montreal where your nose will freeze off if you stick it out a door half the year or Phoenix where you can fry an egg on the street in summer. If you want to see bad, go there. How about the dark and grey days of Northern Europe in winter?

I get what he's saying though living in NJ and being in NYC a lot. It really depends on what weather is preferred to "X" person. If one does not like heat and humidity, both NJ and NYC stink in the summer and up to September. If one does not like frigid cold, December through February can be damn cold.
IMO, I'm a cold guy, so perfect weather for me is generally Fall where its 50-70F with little humidity. Spring is nice too, until the humidity hits.
But I do get what he's saying though, but one that in general, is based on personal preference.
The nice thing is that NYC can offer a dynamic range of weather/temprature for everyone. Can offer humid, sauna like days, and holy shit this cold as a mothaf**** weather.
Those 70 F, low humidity days are somewhat rare though. I find myself thinking that in NJ as well. You know, those "just right" days that feel just perfect, where its sunny and NOT cloudy. Always hard to get that picturesque balance. But again, its very subjective. Definitely not a frying pan like Phoenix or doesn't have brutal summers like some Texan cities, thats for sure on a frequency level. But it can also have those days as well.
If one wants to fully enjoy NYC, Fall, around October or November, are the best times IMO. Or early spring before the humidity train comes by.
