That's one way of looking at it, but I read it in a bit of a different way. To me, it seemed like they were trying to suggest a vacation spot that was a bit off the beaten path -- more or less saying, if you're visiting Banff, spend a few days in Calgary there is actually something worth seeing there that you might not expect.
Not only that, but the NY Times is one of those newspapers that's read all around the country, not just NY, so they may be writing it with more than just New Yorkers in mind.
