None in the US.
London is overall the best city and only city, IMHO you can compare to NYC.
Others can be:
Tokyo- Economically
Hong Kong- Infrastructure
The only thing in USA coming close are: (These cities are much much much smaller- so they're hardly a good comparison)
Los Angeles- Entertainment, shopping, Diversity, etc...
Chicago- City scape, finance, corporate city, businesses, public transportation, etc..
No US City encompasses everything that NY has as far as having such a huge concentration of business, nightlife, excitement, things to do, places to go, people to see etc.
It just doesnt exist in such totality anywhere except New York. Manhattan is really untouchable in this respect. I mean its wall to wall everything.
After New York, all we can do is combine the parts of other places to equal something similar.
Midtown-Chicago Loop
Lower East Side-Downtown LA
Lower West Side-Downtown SF
Financial District-Downtown Boston
Upper West Side-West Los Angeles
Upper East Side-Pacific Heights(SF) & Gold Coast(Chicago)
Times Square-Vegas Strip from the Bellagio to the MGM Grand
see what I mean...it takes a group effort.
