You probably won't even be less happy at Duke -- from what I hear, Columbia is kind of a miserable place. In fact, I would prefer Duke over Columbia at the same COA, because the difference between what I've heard about the two schools (from students & alums) is so starkly different, and in favor of Duke.
New York is not a miserable place, and neither is Columbia or morningside. But it's extraordinarily difficult to justify for the cost here.
