Two things to think through.
A northeastern US audience can make New York a useful starting point for placement research. Compare it with New Jersey and other eastern locations, including the routes to databases and authentication services. A familiar city name does not show which path a visitor request will take.
New York and New Jersey are different locations, but their names alone do not establish independent power, routing or operational failure boundaries. For recovery planning, confirm the actual arrangements rather than treating two nearby labels as proof of resilience.

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 York.
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.
