Ehh it's hit or miss on Thursdays, unfortunately. Uptown is usually better.
In general, Dallas nightlife is disappointing during the week, but a blast on the weekend. I think the lack of a huge university presence in the middle of the city is a big reason why.
Actually, Hollywood often uses Downtown LA as a stand in for New York in films.
Where in Downtown LA? I personally find it annoying when a show or movie is set in one location but filmed somewhere else. I don't see where in Downtown LA you could get a vibe or streetscape even remotely similar to NYC.

They also do this in other cities like Chicago and even Philly too. When I lived near Philly I have seen filming take place with yellow NYC taxi cabs and NYPD cars to disguise it as NYC. It doesnt mean that these cities are anything like NYC. They just need to find a block or street corner that looks urban and/or gritty enough to pretend it's NYC. Anyone from NY can tell that shows like How I Met Your Mother isn't really filmed in NY.
The vast majority of the audience for whatever show or movie are not going to be from NYC so it doesn't really matter.
If Baltimore isn't in the top 10, then the list isn't valid. That's is objectively speaking.
What do these cities have that Baltimore doesn't ?
crime rates that don't rival Caracas, downtown office space that rents for more than 20 bucks a foot, and with the exception of height-restricted DC, at least one new building in the last 25 years over 400 feet
Only NY, SF, Chicago, DC, Seattle, Philly, Boston have more than 4,000 households per square mile and 500,000 people.
Beside these seven, Portland and Denver are close, then Minneapolis and San Diego. Downtown LA maybe, it's improved, but still feels low energy compared to SF, NY, Boston, etc.

The entire city of LA has a density of 7,544.6 people per square mile. The residential areas around downtown (Koreatown, South Park, Westlake, etc.) have 40,000 people per square mile.

Downtown LA has seen a pretty massive improvement from its past and I'd put it towards the bottom of your first grouping and just barely above Seattle.
Of the second grouping, Baltimore should probably be towards the front of that and several rust belt cities such as Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and St. Louis have an arguable case. Miami and the downtowns of the other three major sunbelt metros of Houston, Dallas, and Atlanta increasingly do, too.
