The sun is never straight overhead at either of these two locations, as their latitude is greater than 23.5 degrees north.
Austin, Texas, is about 30.25 degrees north, so the sun will be 30.25 - 23.50 = 6.75 degrees off directly overhead, or 83.25 degrees above the southern horizon at noon on the summer solstice.
New York is about 40.75 degrees north, so the sun will be 40.75 - 23.50 = 17.25 degrees off directly overhead, or 72.75 degrees above the southern horizon at noon on the summer solstice.
