You can sue in NY under CPLR s.503(a), unless your contract stipulates to a different venue. I'd expect them to challenge the venue though, so if legal costs are an issue, it might just make more sense to file in CT. Not knowing which specific jurisdiction(s) you're talking about, I can't offer any advice on which might be more "pro-plaintiff", but ask around before choosing, as some venues are much better than others for your purpose.

Good luck.
