LA is definitely more of the hub for the entire region.
The economy in LA is more moved onto entertainment. San Francisco's economy is wider. If we take into account the population then NYC would not the the economy capital of the world- it would be Tokyo.
I know New York (City) is definitely part of the Northeast, but don't remember seeing it as part of the Mid-Atlantic. Maybe because NYC is minutes away from the beginning of New England. Now- if we take into account the entire North American continent then all of the eastern seaboard of the US except Florida would be Mid-Atlantic.
Plus have you even been to Indianapolis?
What about visiting Indy during the Indy 500 or Brickyard 400?
Cause there is no way in the world any other city can be the *Racing Capital of the World*

This doesnt make sense to me. Is NJ Mid Atlantic? I just dont understand the NYC not Mid Atlantic
Maybe I am alone
But given an associated choice of is NY Mid Atlantic or a part of New England I think the answer is pretty simple

I've never heard New York of not being part of the Mid-Atlantic. It's a pretty well-defined region... It's the area of the coast (and connected inland areas) that wasn't New England and wasn't the South.
It was identified as being it's own region including New York as early as the late 1800s by Frederick Jackson Turner.
Quote:
The Middle region, entered by New York harbor, was an open door to all Europe. The tide-water part of the South represented typical Englishmen, modified by a warm climate and servile labor, and living in baronial fashion on great plantations; New England stood for a special English movement-- Puritanism. The Middle region was less English than the other sections. It had a wide mixture of nationalities, a varied society, the mixed town and county system of local government, a varied economic life, many religious sects. In short, it was a region mediating between New England and the South, and the East and the West. It represented that composite nationality which the contemporary United States exhibits, that juxtaposition of non-English groups, occupying a valley or a little settlement, and presenting reflections of the map of Europe in their variety. It was democratic and nonsectional, if not national; "easy, tolerant, and contented;" rooted strongly in material prosperity. It was typical of the modern United States. It was least sectional, not only because it lay between North and South, but also because with no barriers to shut out its frontiers from its settled region, and with a system of connecting waterways, the Middle region mediated between East and West as well as between North and South. Thus it became the typically American region. Even the New Englander, who was shut out from the frontier by the Middle region, tarrying in New York or Pennsylvania on his westward march, lost the acuteness of his sectionalism on the way.
Why do people refuse to label NYC mid Atlantic? That's what it is.
The Mid Atlantic is NYC (Not NY state), Philadelphia (Not all of PA), New Jersey, Maryland, DC, and Delaware. Basically, coastal cities (or states) which are not in New England, and not in the south.
Northeast = Mid Atlantic + New England.
Some people just have different definitions of the Mid-Atlantic. To me it was always the southern part of the Northeast, i.e. the area below New England and north of Virginia. I've slowly come to accept the idea that Virginia is mid-Atlantic. I'm starting to think there is two mid-Atlantics. One is a subdivision of the Northeast. The other is the overlapping between the southern most northeastern states and the northern most southeastern states.
Atlanta may have the biggest hub, but between the NYC airports, you get far more foreign carriers and more diversity in international cities served nonstop.
