Mount Vernon
Consular districts in the United States are fixed and published, so there is no choosing between missions. New York belongs to New York.
Between Mount Vernon and New York there are 16 miles, some 31 min of driving at the speed limit.
Mount Vernon is in Westchester County. That makes it the 7th furthest of the 11 cities we list in New York.
New York also has honorary consuls, at Buffalo. Buffalo can take passport applications, which may be a much shorter journey than New York.
The same question, answered for other New York cities: Syracuse (250 mi), Yonkers (16 mi), Albany (148 mi), Bronx (10 mi), Brooklyn (11 mi).
The full picture for the state, including every city and the other German offices in it, is on the New York page.
What you can settle without travelling
A good share of German paperwork never reaches a consular counter.
- Get a document apostilled: for a US document it is the Secretary of State of the issuing state; no German mission can do it
- Send in a life certificate for your pension: there is a free digital route with a QR code, and a bank or a police station can sign the paper one
- Apply for a visa you may not need: a US passport gets you 90 days in Germany without one
