Nowhere north of Kill Devil Hills, NC is subtropical on the east coast, from north of there up to about Providence, I consider temperate, and Boston northward as continental

I would consider the northern most edge of subtropical to be Virginia Beach. Sabal Palms, Spanish Moss, and other subtropical plants are found in the area but not north of here.

I'm in a tropical climate right now and have just come from a subtropical (though nearly tropical) climate in Hanoi.
Before this I knew NYC was not subtropical, but my visit here confirms that x99999
No month in NYC is even close to feeling tropical, and outside of summer it is cool anyway, so it can't be subtropical. 29c/20c is a warm July but hardly tropical feeling. In order to be subtropical, a climate has to feel tropical for at least part of the year or have very warm temperatures year round.
20c lows for just a small part of summer does not make NYC subtropical, let me tell you those lows are comfortable compared to what I'm used to put here (24C-27C)
I was in Hanoi, Vietnam last week in late October and it is still stiflingly humid and hot everyday(32c/24c) despite being a subtropical climate, NYC would never come close to this in October. It has a couple of warm months, mostly mild months and then cold winter months.
Brisbane is clearly more subtropical, anyone who thinks otherwise should felate themselves

Isn't Hanoi at a lower latitude than Miami? Rather cool for the latitude I would say and rather warm for a subtropical climate. I think it's tropical.
Based on what,winter alone. He is basing it on summer and you are on winter.
Based on the complete lack of cold and frost. You cannot possibly call NYC more subtropical than the California coast. You're thinking entirely in terms of eastern climates.

And you are thinking in terms of West coast climates and basing it on winter completely!
