NYC is less desireable because you have to cover 3 airports (two of which are kind of related but one needs to be a separate base as its NOT the same). Pre-Optimizer the trips were much more commuter friendly. Not sure how they are today. A couple years ago a NB friend in the top 10% in seat who lived there, actually moved to another base it was so bad.

Crashpads/hotels and transportation can get expensive and time consuming. Commutes (either way) fall apart rapidly with the slightest grain of sand in the gears.

The 737 has great glass. And the crew room angst about the overhead panel is one of the most whiny exagerations in the business. However it is a very cramped flight deck. Most pilots of average height can recline one notch from their comfortable flying position or scoot the seat back one notch. But not both. Its a little on the loud side too. Good ANR can fix that (IMO either fully over the ear or fullin in the ear sets..the 850ish types just don't do it). It had a die hard one ear off never use the hot mic culture for many years. That seems to finally have died out.

The trips used to be great. Post merger it was the transcon machine as the 320 got shifted to short haul. Now things are much more evened out, but it still has some good flying and is still technically a growing fleet.

So when you combine the negatives, it becomes somewhat less desireable when things are moving so fast anyone can hold anything anytime.

All that said, its not that bad. I'd do it, or NYC, or both, if the relative seniority worked out for me.
