Area wise or population - mostly i would say the approximate answer is one of the boroughs, overall it is probably most like either Brooklyn or Queens, with a just a dash of Manhattan, but BK and Queens are probably most similar

The answer is 2.216 boroughs

304.8 sq miles of land in NYC divided by 5 boroughs equals the average borough size of 61 sq miles. Divide the 135.1 sq miles of land in Philly by the average and there you go, on average 2.216 boroughs of NYC would fit inside Phildelphia
