NYC without a doubt. LA is half Hispanic, for a start, whereas NYC has a more equal distribution of different ethnicities. The typical European-Jewish substrate has been replaced from people from all over the globe; the Americas, Middle East, East and Southeast Asia, Africa - no group is notably absent in NYC. LA is pretty diverse too, of course. Not sure about Chicago but aren't the suburbs still pretty white?
In NYC I never got the feeling there was a majority (except in say Chinatown, Harlem, Spanish Harlem, parts of the boroughs), whereas LA has many neighbourhoods where one group dominates.

All of those neighborhoods are mixed to varying degrees

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.
