Haven't seen them show up here in NYC though. I see loquats show up from time to time on blogs and I’m so curious to taste them some day. Haven’t seen them show up here in NYC though.

Not at all ... quinces are more similar to apples, whereas loquats are soft, with a large pit (that contains several seeds) and a rubbery skin. In terms of texture, they're more like apricots or peaches, or maybe very large cherries. Tastewise, they're relatively mild (in my opinion), quite sweet, and tangy when not overly ripe. Not sure how to describe the taste beyond that ... Anyway, thanks, good to have you here. Similar to a quince?
