Having been discriminated against on the job and in social settings for being a vet, I'd say that many people in NY are not friendly to vets. There might be some agencies which do a good job, like VOC in Rochester, but beyond that I've experienced discrimination and downright hostility there when people merely found out I'm a vet.
