Vassar Brothers

Jacobi/Montiefore

South Shore

Staten Island

Mount Sinai

Mount Sinai Morningside/West

Hofstra/Northwell

Was there 10ish years ago, pd had the mentality that the best way to learn is to see more pts. So we were always seeing more pts, felt the opposite of coddled.

Don't know if this answers your question, but I have practiced with several people who trained at NYC programs, from your list both Sinai programs and hofstra/northwell.  they have never said anything negative about their training. Don't know anything about the other programs though.
