Every other topic has been done a thousand times to death so why the hell not. Just a fun geographic comparison of cities based on altitude and altitude gain. So the three metrics for the discussion are as follows.
City low point
High point within 100 mile radius and actual distance (close enough for a day trip/hike)
The delta of the two
For NYC
Low point: sea level (0 feet)
High point: Slide Mountain (4,180 feet; 80 miles from midtown Manhattan as the crow flies)
Delta: 4,180 feet
