I feel like NYC could use something like LA's Little Tokyo. We have a Chinatown in Manhattan and Brooklyn, Koreatown in Manhattan, and Flushing in Queens (mostly Chinese and Korean), but we don't really have anything like LA's little Tokyo. That small area next to St. Marks doesn't count.
That would require a larger amount of Japanese people, which we don't have. St. Mark's will have to do for now, lol.
I think New York is more diverse than Los Angeles in that NYC has more nationalities and languages there than even LA which would be #2. LA's diversity is mostly in Hispanic and Asian groups, while New York also has a lot of Europeans, Middle Easterners, Indians, Caribbean immigrants etc. Plus a large Jewish population and many subsets of this Jewish population too.
i think boston deserves an honerable mention. several of the cities named are probably more racially diverse (or racial minority-majority) but not ethnically diverse. according to city data, the boston area has zip codes that are highest (or close to) first ancestry of haitian, cape-verdean, brazillian, portuguese, irish, sicillian, san-salvadorean, west-indian, domincan, south-american, puerto-rican, ... many 1st or 2nd generation.
most other cities have a majority of one type of ethnicity per race (african-american/chinese-american/mexican-american/white-american (whatever that means ?)).
Why is Chicago on the poll? Its very diverse, but when taking the entire metro areas into consideration it falls behind DC, the Bay Area, and Houston.
