Yes. Then Salt Lake.

I'd guess that and the stadium controversy didn't help NY's bid.

ETA, there are at least two other US cities (other than those named several posts above) that I can think of that have hosted the Olympics. I'm sure someone can name them.

And, of course, Denver received the bid, and then cancelled.
