Yeah, my criteria was based on 1) jobs, 2) critical infrastructure, and 3) population.
Manhattan (New York) was the obvious winner for being a jobs center. Queens has the airports as well as critical commuter rail links. Union has Newark airport. Essex (Newark) is a large jobs center and commuter hub. Brooklyn (Kings) is the most populous county in NY metro, but it doesn't currently have a ton of jobs that draw in commuters. Atlantic Terminal in Brooklyn is a hub for LIRR commuters, but I would rank it behind Jamaica Station or Newark Penn Station in importance, and obviously it is not as critical as an airport.
