Uh, NYC, where do I start...
There's a Jewish presence almost everywhere in the tri-state area, but largest concentration, by far, is Brooklyn.
Are we talking Secular or Orthodox here? In the NYC metro, makes a big difference.
On the one hand you have places like Manhattan, Syosset, Scarsdale, Livingston (the stereotypical secular, educated, upper middle class "Seinfeld", "Woody Allen" New York Jew), but the majority of Jewish neighborhoods in the region are highly religious and have nothing to do with the stereotype.
Biggest Jewish neighborhood is probably Borough Park, Brooklyn. Most Jewish suburbs are probably Kiryas Joel, Monsey, New Square, and Lakewood. Most upscale suburbs in the region have at least some (secular) Jewish presence; Orthodox neighborhoods are numerous throughout NY and NJ (but none in CT).
