You can even stop by at the Apple store or Tiffany and Co on Colorado, neither or which can be found in Brooklyn.
Or go to Santa Anita Racetrack, Norton Simon Museum, Cal Tech, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pacific Asia Museum, Pasadena Playhouse, Playhouse District, or the Huntington Museum. Unfortunately, I don't get there that often, because, you know, there's so much else to do in LA's environs.

Well, it's getting late. I was really hoping to see all of the vibrant areas outside of the non-core areas in other cities. Even though you can't find any videos, pictures, or flattering density stats for this urbanity, I'm sure it puts the outer boroughs and its rinky, dinky transit and low walkscores to shame.
LA vs. NY in terms of "urbanity" is truly foolish. I don't really think there's any logical human who would believe LA is comparable to NYC in this category; you just can't if you have eyes & thoughts.
What I don't get is why LA people always play into the argument of the east coast? By claiming that "LA is just as urban," you are basically conceding that urbanity is preferable to suburbia. You are letting the east coast people define what makes a great city in a category that isn't necessarily your strong point.
Los Angeles & the west has many things going for it that cannot be found on the east coast; fast-paced city living is just not one of them. The beaches are better, people are friendler, weather is infinitely better, women are beautiful etc. But over and over again, I read people desperately trying to claim that western cities are comparable to eastern cities in population density, pace of living, wealth, world influence, education, etc. keep in mind the following institutions are headquarted between boston & DC: every major bank, every major media outlet, every ivy league school, every top law firm, the entire us government, united nations, IMF, World Bank, Federal Reserve, every major insurance company, every top accounting firm, every top lobbying firm
