Was there any airplane used by the Axis powers that could've bombed, say New York City? Did they have any submarines/ships that could've landed on the East Coast and mounded an invasion?

I'm asking this because I've heard that the turning point of the Second World War was when Hitler decided he couldn't take the UK, he'd take Russia instead. And we all know how that turned out. Could he have realistically gone for the USA instead?

Mind you, I'm not saying they could've conquered the US, even if they hit Washington. They'd have a tough time fending off not just the military but also armed civilians. But I wonder of the postwar dreamland beloved by so many in America would be thought of in the same way if we had had some rebuilding of our own to do beyond Pearl Harbor...
