For a state that has voted for a Democratic President the last 20 years and has (I believe) only 1 Republican Representative in the House, there isn't much to politically gain by going to NYC - only a whole lot to lose with having to directly address the Mosque situation.
There's no precedent for that visit to occur, thus the expectation isn't there. I doubt anyone on the Left holds any resentment because he has not gone to Ground Zero the last 2 years, while those on the Right will try to spin it to use as one more bullet for smearing - hence why this post even exists.
