Hi ilusski,
The region you are asking about is too large for me to look for all the forum lists inside it but if you let me know one or two cities or zip codes that I can use as a reference point I’d be happy to provide you with links to the forum lists that are closest.
There are many local factory direct manufacturers in the states you mentioned.
Just in case they are close to the areas you are looking for … the list for the New York City region is in post #2 here, for the Monroe Township area (with some overlap) is in post #7 here, for Connecticut is in post #2 here and the posts it links to, and for Trenton/Philadelphia/Wilmington area is in post #4 here.
