Eh, not really. Like all places in the Mid-Atlantic region original Dutch and Swedish colonization was historically disposed by later English ownership who really began to develop the colonies. The original colonies having already been small trading posts basically. Their chapter was brief and short before Anglo ownership, followed by American. Later stronger influence would come in with the Irish or the Italians, especially the Italians; think Jersey Shore. But in terms of spoken languages, Spanish is second because Latino groups today are the largest group of people by origin and the Dutch, British, Irish, and Italian identities integrating themselves all in the cultural stew of "American white owning class".

That's all true, buuuuttttt the Empire State having a bunch of Amerodeutsch HRE cosplayers in the post-apocalypse sounds more amusing than the realistic melting pot cultures that actually would likely exist.
