New York, being a harbor city, is very windy. I'm still impressed with how windy it is, because I moved back here a little over a year ago. I was only a few miles inland in New Jersey, but the difference is noticeable.
I ride a lot on the waterfront, and it's windy. On the streets, the wind tunnel effect is also strong. Come to an intersection, and you can get blasted by wind coming down the cross street.
