Writing and teaching come to mind.
You may not be able to teach law or tax classes in Florida but perhaps you could find a NY university that would let you teach online.
If you don't need a lot of money, you could try something new that you are interested in as a few above have suggested. I'm in IT and thought I might like to work part-time cooking in a restaurant when I retire. Maybe even go to culinary school first to officially become a chef which doesn't take too long. I thought about teaching as well, which I have already done for short spurts already. And have started a novel about 78 times.
Don't forget to have fun when you get down here.
Another thing to consider is if you switch careers, how long would you have to work to make enough money to fully retire vs staying in New York another year or two in a presumably higher paying job. For me I would probably have to work at least five to seven years in a new career to make up for working another year at my current salary. If I drop down to Walmart greeter or fast food, probably eight to ten years...No Thanks!
