The sun can never be directly overhead anywhere in New York state ... or anywhere in the USA for that matter. The highest it can ever appear is at noon on June 21. But in order to ever see it directly overhead, you have to be located within 23.5 degrees of the equator.

The northernmost latitude at which the sun can be directly overhead is around 23.44° north. That latitude is called the Tropic of Cancer, and the sun is directly over it at the moment of the June equinox.The southernmost latitude at which the sun can be directly overhead is around 23.44° south. That latitude is called the Tropic of Capricorn, and the sun is directly over it at the moment of the December equinox.
No. The only American State where the Sun is ever directly overhead is Hawaii.

The sun is directly overhead at the summer solstice at the Tropic of Cancer (23.5oN). This is as the most northernly latitude which has the sun directly overhead at any time of the year. A similar case happen at the winter solstice at the Tropic of Capricorn (23.5oS).
Antarctica and Europe would never have the sun "directly" overhead at any time of year.
