Don't give up. The peak being in Egypt means that there might be 100/hour instead of 50 some place else (I'm just making up those numbers). I remember a Leonid about 10 years ago that I watched from the beach in Miami Beach, by lying on the sand looking up. I suspect that even the middle of Central Park will be pretty good. Spaceweather.com/ is a very good site to start with, I bet as we get close to November they will have more info. You also might check with local astronomy groups or the Museum of Natural History.
