Summary: 

The southwestern corner of Connecticut (including Stamford and Greenwich) 
is surrounded in all four compass directions by New York.  In particular,
the eastward path intersects Long Island near its eastern end.

Parts of Alaska have the property that you can travel in any of the four
compass directions and circumnavigate the globe without meeting any state
but Alaska.  All of Alaska had this property during the year or so when
Alaska was a state but Hawaii wasn't.

Next question:  Who can think of a place that is part of one state but
is completely surrounded by another state?  There is absolutely no way
to get out without passing through the other state, short of going straight
up.  I know of two such places.  Whoever gets this will have part of the 
answer to the "disconnected states" puzzle which I posted recently.
