East vs West Coast vs Elsewhere

I'm looking at HV/FO/PE and have good options, and I'm weighing staying at my EB in NYC.  Any of you have an opinion on city or location in general.  Putting aside the fund itself, assuming it is an elite fund of EB, is there an advantage to say NY vs SF vs Chicago?
