Did the film ever leave New York?
The story does: Donnie’s cover is from Florida and a Miami club is raided. The location lists do not agree on whether the camera did.
The Cinemaholic
Names Florida sites
The Cinemaholic lists the airport among its Florida sites and gives no scene.
It also names the Palm Beach Kennel Club and Rapids Water Park, with no scene for either.

Says it was all New York
movie-locations.com says the film was shot entirely in New York, including its short Miami episode. The two lists disagree.
In the story, Donnie’s cover is a jewel thief from Vero Beach, Florida, and Sonny Black’s club in Miami is raided.

Both are location guides, not production records. This page keeps the airport as a place to see and leaves the question open.
