Subtract 2C from December and January, add 2C to June and July, decrease winter and spring precipitation significantly so that most precip falls in summer and fall.
Shoulder seasons much warmer too, and summer a bit warmer.
At the moment it is a clearly continental climate with no subtropical aspects, I prefer Cfa or Csa climates (real ones, not fake ones with lukewarm summers and plenty of snow in winter)

"No subtropical aspects" - Summer in NYC is firmly in the subtropical zone. Means in summer of around 74F put it comfortably in that zone.
Fwiw, I wouldn't change much about NYC tbh. I'd prefer an earlier and warmer spring, but in all honesty I'd be very happy with the climate of NYC. It's very interesting, with so much variety to it's seasons.

Summer is warm no doubt, but definitely not oppressive and not tropical feeling.. A couple of months a year doesn't make it a subtropical climate IMO, July and August are like midwinter in a higher latitude tropical climate.
All baiting aside though, I do like NYC summers, but I am not a fan of 4 season climates

The means in July and august are the same as Brisbane's warmest months, yet nobody would argue with Brisbane not having subtropical summers. In fact, Brisbane just needs to be a couple of degrees warmer in winter, then it'd be tropical.
Summer dew points are also very similar in both cities.
Now I'm not saying NYC is subtropical, that has been discussed to death, but you said it has no subtropical aspects, when it clearly does.
Just take away the extremes of the periodic Summer heatwaves.
-No dewpoints over 60
-Reduce July-August high temps by 5F.
I wouldn't touch rainfall amounts or distribution. Alternating heavy rain events with perfect sunny days is what makes NYC's green spaces the lush oases the city needs.
Secondarily, NYC spends a lot of Winter hovering right at the freezing line. So I would like average Winter temps a few degrees colder. Just enough to push the city from ice and slush which are dangerous and uncomfortable, to snow, but not so cold as to make a difference in the neccessary wardrobe or dramatic increase in heaing costs.
