Two things to think through.
Compare New Jersey and New York around the same representative workload. Record audience networks, application dependencies and any expected hardware-access tasks. A useful comparison explains what changes for the service rather than which name is more recognisable.
A second environment near the first can serve a different purpose from a geographically distant recovery copy. Decide whether the aim is capacity, maintenance flexibility or recovery from a wider disruption. Confirm the actual facility and network arrangements before relying on separation.

Distances are straight-line between city centres. The minimum round trip assumes light in fibre at about 200,000 km a second and a straight cable. Real routes are longer, so always test from your own audience. For a second site that survives a regional outage, Dublin is about 5,120 km from New Jersey.
A nearby server is only one part of your application.
Compare the route from the audience networks you expect to serve. Test real requests, not only a location label.
Count remote APIs, databases, sign-in providers and backup destinations when you plan.
Write down how data is restored and who can do it. A copy in another location only helps if you can recover from it.
