I lived for years in NY with no AC, no issues. Now I have it, but it certainly isn't needed.
I had no AC when I moved to college (upstate NY), thru grad school (Mass) and for about 10 years as a professional in NYC. Never even thought about getting it. Didn't get it until I bought my first place, which had central air.

NYC is pretty unbearable in July and August without AC. It feels like more than a "few weeks" when your walls are sweating and your mattress is soaked. Even with a room air conditioner, it doesn't do a good job of removing the humidity...it just blows cold air.
Upstate NY, yeah...totally different story. I went to Cornell. You don't need central air at all in the Finger Lakes. Maybe a week or two at most but even then totally manageable.
