When I think "river city" I think of St Louis, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Memphis, New Orleans, Louisville. Smaller cities I think of are Paducah, Cape Giraudeau, Frankfort, and Huntington & Charleston WV.
I know New York & DC, etc are on rivers, but does that make them a "river city" in of the same manner of the ones I mentioned? 99% of US cities are on some river or creek
Exactly. Anyone with half a brain could see that New York is an "ocean city" more than a "river city".
I mean, I think the Atlantic Ocean has had more of an influence on shaping New York than the East and Hudson Rivers.
It's not like they put the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island in the East River, let alone Coney Island and Rockaway Beach.
How could anyone in their right mind leave Chicago off the list. Chicago only has the most stunning river scape, by day and especially night, than any other city in the entire world! DUH! All the rest U.S. and worldwide are all pretenders.

Its culture is tied to lake michigan though not the river
Mayor Daley's new pet project is the Chicago river walk, which is coming to fruition(yet another crown jewel in Chicago's cap). Which will claim the river front as Chicago's new waterfront front yard. Which will again solidify Chicago as the best designed city in America. Chicago is so ahead of the rest of the country, dating back to the 19th century, when it comes to urban planning it's not even a contest!

DC is well known for being on the Potomac. It's part of DC's identity.
