I was re-watching "Stop the Presses" and I saw that Bernie's phone number at Star Labs has a 201 area code. In RL, that area code covers Jersey City and Hackensack in northern New Jersey, pretty close to NYC. That would add further support to Metropolis being on the east coast.
I guess Lois has a looooong commute to work. ;-)
