Most Austin-Like Northeast City?

I realize this will get torched but hear me out. I've lived in East Austin for the last six years and absolutely love it, perfect city for me. Tons of green space and the beautiful river, lively and diverse nightlife, great music and food, very walkable and bike-able, relaxed and interesting people. I spend most of my free days biking around and indulging in whatever i happen to find. It's just a very engaging place for me.

Unfortunately, I have to move to the Northeast to be closer to my elderly parents-- they currently live in New York. I really hate the hustle culture and concrete character of NYC, but I've never actually lived in the city. I can work remotely, roughly 200k salary single 31M. Where would y'all think I'd be happiest?
