Why not Los Angeles? I'm surprised you left it off the list in your post, given your location.

I would also say Philadelphia.

Not really, they're more spread out and definitely not canyon like. People always leave off Miami which has that feel in the downtown area.

Philadelphia skyscrapers are generally spaced differently than New York and Chicago, but there are certainly canyons, notably on Market Street and JFK boulevard.
