How old is too old for NYC?
And how much is there to do that isn't focused on drinking ?

LA/CA weather and nature is second to none. Depends on how active you are, really, and how much cash you can burn.
NYC is a nice visit, but living there full-time seems fucking atrocious.
I'd choose London over NYC if you have cash. I just got back from Greece, heading on a surf trip to Morocco after Christmas. Back to US in Feb, then Berlin for work then back to London. Cannes / French Riviera in May.
Unless you're a finance bro stuck on the golden handcuffed concrete island, why choose NYC?

If i were single I'd probably travel on more surf trips, but life would look pretty similar. I love my house in London and have a 180 routine with this dude - https://imgur.com/a/JZCWoGy - I'm in London probably 2/3 of the year. Travelling is 1000% easier here than in the US. It's not a huge trip to go to Amsterdam or Paris or Belgium, Morocco or Greece. Instead of going to the jersey shore for the weekend, I can fly 2 hrs to Portugal, or take the ferry to Spain and bring my hound.
I love a lot about the US, but living back home full time doesn't really seem healthy for most people and not for me. My quality of life is so much better outside of the US. Work/life balance etc. just can't be replicated back in the toxic cesspit.
Our closest friends here just had their first babby - wife walked over to their house this afternoon and made a big dinner for everyone. After I finished up work, I walked over with the hound and we had a wonderful dinner together. After we ate I had my goddaughter on my chest telling her all the ways i was going to spoil her over the years while her mother got a few minutes for herself. Our community here is surprisingly strong and I didnt expect it to be when we first moved. I did the dishes for them and then wife and I hightailed it to the pub for a nice pint before we walked back home together.
I fly back to see my father and fam 2-4 times a year (i try for at least 3) so I'm not totally removed from the homeland. I'm so glad when I land in the US and so fucking happy when I fly back and hear the captain say we're beginning our descent back into London.
Just because you dont live in the country full time anymore doesnt mean can't visit for weeks at a time. My father says he sees me more than he used to when we lived in the same state. And when I am there, we spend actual quality time together. It's just different.

LA but only if Manhattan Beach or Dana Point
NYC but only if it's a SFH in Westchester Co or bungalow in The Hamptons

cannot imagine living in "Westchester".
either live in the middle of nyc or live as far as possible away
"oh we have all the benefits of driving 20 min, to get on a train, to travel 30 min, to get to midtown manhattan, to hail a cab to get to the event... but we ALSO get to pay triple for suburban real estate and have jews and bankers and dorks for neighbors! Best of everything!"

i get the sense you dont want a wife or kids. sure, go ahead. but you arent successful in those cities without 10m net worth. and youll probably need to keep working to fit in and make rent or afford a decent lifestyle after 55% taxation rate
do you want a wife and kids? if so, go to the south. dallas or atlanta or something. you can be a big fish there with a few million and solid income

nice house in a decent neighborhood - 3 - 5 million dollars (30k/year property taxes + 20k/year for misc. housing expenses)
nice cars for wife and self - 200k
private school for kids - 100k/year
Food - 1500/month/person if eating out regularly
travel - 50k/year
assuming 5% a year return on 10 million dollars - that 500k is getting used up awfully quick living in LA

nobody asked OP the most important question: what does successful mean?
being UMC and having 2-3m net worth in your 30s is comfortable, but dont expect to feel rich in NYC/LA. those are great places to feel average or poor, even if youre not. if youre a chad and regularly have women approach you looking for secks, then maybe LA/NYC would be 180. but it's likely an incremental upgrade if youre not able to afford a top tier lifestyle there
does successful mean 10-20m net worth? thats when a place like NYC or LA would really get interesting - youd have a condo in the city, and a vacation house somewhere else. you wouldnt feel pressure to work even if you wanted to splash cash and enjoy all the city has to offer. exclusive clubs, restaurants, spontaneous trips with a new broad youre impressing.
my theory is that the middle class and UMC people in these cities are truly suckers. the poor have all sorts of programs to benefit from, and the rich live above the dirty squalor and homelessness. the MC/UMC is grinding away and living above their means to keep up appearances. i dont think you want to do that just to bang a few girls who are slightly hotter than the ones you usually go out with.
so how successful are you? if you'd feel it'd be necessary to maintain a high pressure job, its probably not worth the move. how about you move to a big southern city where you have tons of options and can be a big fish? Atlanta, Houston, Tampa, Miami? you'll probably do better there and benefit from way more personal autonomy without a rat race occupying your time. visit NYC or LA for a few weeks every year and then GTFO out of those hellholes
