You may be able to get one, but the best way for you to get a New York accent would be for you to live in Brookyln.Us folk that live in Brookyln have thick Brooklyn accents.

yes, you pick up the accent without knowing it especially if you are surrounded by it when you are young. I m from NY, I don t think I have an accent, but if I travel anywhere in the country, they ask me if I am from NY as soon as I open my mouth but I was born in California.
as we are humans of habit we would adapt to the environment we are in meaning after a while you will probably start picking up accents or different terms used in that area! and that will be any where you go unless your main purpose is to not be like that then yeah but subconsciously you are going to pick it up
