NYC does not have a smell different from other major cities. If anything, it's much greener than most major cities.
What specific smell are you even referring to? The only really obvious smell in major cities is in the third world, where they have poor sanitation facilities, so you can sometimes smell the sewers. But no first world city has such a system. And even most third world cities don't have that smell anymore.
It's great living in a dream world ... Until you wake up.

I honestly don't even know what I would do. The only reason I like any cities is their diversity and seeing famous places/landmarks. I dislike crowds. I don't like confined spaces. I am a picky eater and a strict vegetarian so I think food would be a huge issue. I'm not a huge fan of art, I lose interest very quick unless the artist is very famous. I don't really care about immersing myself in different cultures. I'm not usually attracted to Asian women. I am much more of a nature person. I would rather go to Nepal than to Shanghai. I can see how these places might appeal to some people, I guess if I am going to go to a megalopolis I'd rather go to NYC, L.A., London, Paris or Rio.
It amazes me the lengths to which some New Yorkers will go to convince themselves they don't live in a cesspit. Most affluent young professionals I know of can't wait to get out of the city.
Another bitter Londoner, eh? This is what Londoners tell themselves out of spite, since Londoners generally flee that somber dump to New York or Los Angeles when they strike it rich. So many public examples of these people.
New York is perhaps the most desirable place for the affluent, given the sheer amounts of that group.
To answer this question, as a frequent visitor to both.
New York City is certainly more beautiful than Tokyo. Tokyo simply does not have the architecture you'd find in New York. Tokyo is actually quite unattractive, but it's much cleaner than large cities in the U.S. and Europe. On the other hand, Tokyo is certainly undoubtedly more overwhelming. It's much bigger than New York, both in land area and in population.

I uprated this comment by mistake.
I was aiming for the "report a sockpuppet troll" button.
Come on now. I've already told you I wouldn't change you for the world.
