Yes, but not from the city.  I'm from Westchester, and native Westchesterites speak more like lower Hudson Valley people than people from New York City.

Where I lived, the speech patterns were always a mix of those who had moved from the city, who had either heavy or watered-down New York accents, and those who originated in Westchester, who did not speak with a New York accent.

The Hudson Valley sweeps over to Western New England north of New York city, so those from that area generally speak with a combination of the two dialects.
