^ Lol, I was about to say that, New York might be old but it's not THAT old.
New York City was founded in 1624 by the Dutch. Now if you are mearly talking about highrises in the city then you have to go back to when steel frame construction made taller buildings possible which would be the latter half of the 19th century.
There are buildings in the city that are as old as the city itself.
Manhattan is a viable example of what urban downtown should be like. The urban downtown should include good retail, quality architecture, a strong business presence, great access to the arts with great buildings to live in. Every city wants to be like New York, many cities have taken names of neighborhoods in New York and have applied it to their own city. For example, Cleveland, OH has a neighborhood named Murray Hill that is basically named after the Murray Hill in Manhattan. Miami has its own version of the Upper East Side as well. Every city wants to be like New York, and I am trying to find a piece of Manhattan in the south because New York is too cold in the winter.
Miami's upper east side is not a reference to NYC, it's directional. Miami is segmented into 4 quadrants: NE, NW, SE and SW. The streets are numbered and one of these 4 designations are applied to the address. The "upper east side" essentially articulates that it's the upper part of the NE segment of the city limits.
Miami was always nicknamed the sixth borough of New York because of all the New Yorkers that relocate to the south. A few links available below. My family was one of them. Because of this Brickell was nicknamed Manhattan of the south because of the fast development of skycrapers in recent years. the quickest in world today besides Dubai. No other city in the country besides New York and Chicago has seen such development with the exception of San Fran who saw a similar and smaller scale of skycrapers in the 60's and 70's. It was known as the Manhattanization phase in Miami.
New York City has five boroughs.
Yonkers (in Westchester County) was soon proposed to be New York's sixth borough. Many other cities and counties and even countries have been called "New York's sixth borough," such as Fort Lee (NJ), Jersey City (NJ), Nassau County (NY), and Rockland County (NY). Miami (South Florida) has a well-known reputation as "New York's sixth borough."
Israel and Puerto Rico have sometimes been called New York's sixth borough.
An August 2005 New York Times article called Philadelphia (PA) New York's sixth borough, although several bloggers fiercely deny that Philadelphians have called their city that. The Big Apple: Sixth Borough (Yonkers, Scarsdale, Fort Lee, Jersey City, Hoboken, Nassau County, Rockland County, S
"Yeah I live in the sixth borough"
A Slang term for Miami-Dade County Florida. It refers to the high number of New Yorkers who retire to the county. Urban Dictionary: the sixth borough
Take it from this Miami native: If there is one city that Miami has always tried to emulate, it is the Big Apple. It is the only American city that Miami has any respect for. The rest might as well be Mayberry for all we care.
This is not to say that Miami is on equal footing with New York. As far as population and history goes, New York will always overshadow Miami. Like a big brother over his kid brother.
But that has never stopped Miami from believing it is New York South. In fact, Miami has long been known as the Sixth Borough because of all the New Yorkers that transplanted here over the decades.
Although we are the southernmost city in the continental United States, our southern hospitality has long been overshadowed by our northern temperament.
As the old saying goes in Miami, “the further north you drive, the deeper south you get. “ Do You Suffer From New York Envy? - Miami Beach 411

I still see Miami more akin to Los Angeles than NYC. The palm trees, the climate, the Spanish/Mediterranean/Caribbean architecture in the typical house in SoFla, the Beach culture, the DENSE suburban sprawl, the freeway/driving culture, ALL remind me of a million different cities in the Sunbelt before it reminds me of NYC. Yeah it's called the six borough, but ONLY, ONLY, ONLY, because of the number of retirees from NYC that would flock down there in the 60's, 70's, and 80's, NOW Miami is called "The Capital Of Latin America". Miami today reminds me NOTHING of NYC. Outside of Downtown Miami and the Condo district, Miami looks like MUCH of the Western Sunbelt or cities in Southern California, rather than the northeastern US.
none are comparable or in any way like the city. next question.....
