How much percent of Americans speak East English?

I heard that people who live in New York talk as if they're British, for example, they say how do you do? instead of nice to meet you, and they pronounces [pa:k] instead of [park].

Is that true?
If it is, let me call the English that people who live in New York speak East English. About how much percent of US people speak East English?
