Kind of find the selection of Columbus odd since there are definitely other cities/metros in the US of similar size that are even less fun such as Indianapolis or Charlotte. Columbus actually has a decent number of things going on for a US city/metro of its size.
Toronto Canada, a city I currently live in, Has nothing but conservative vibes for a city its size and very quiet for its size, lacks architecture, unfriendly or reserved people, bad dating scene, Everything closes early at 2am which makes it quite the boring city it is. It's a city that is cold all year round and is only warm for 2-3 months before it gettings into the polar vortex system again which makes it a dead city during the winter, it also compares itself to being the New York of Canada which absolutely doesn't compete with. You can feel very lonely and depressed and socially isolated in this city, making friends can be really hard here if you already don't have none.
NYC can be quite annoying and boring after a while, it's prohibitively expensive, everyone works all the time to be able to afford living there, most of the stuff you see it's there for tourists because new yorkers hardly have time or can afford to go there and it's become so gentrified, safe, pretentious, and cliche, the city is starting to be tacky!
I mean when I lived there the new attraction was a little pretentious and mediocre bakery store where you'd have to wait in line for two hours to be able to buy a cupcake. (What was the hassle?) well Carrie Bradshaw from sex and the city buys cupcakes there everytime she feels down so suddenly EVERYONE has to go there. (yes that level of pretentiousness, self-absorption, tackiness and arrogance makes new york a really irritating place to be). Let's not even get started with the "New york is NewYork, everywhere else is backwater" type of mentality coming from idiots who have never been outside NYC in their lives and know virtually nothing of the world.
How do I know all this you ask? I lived there!
If you seriously think london and NYC are the two most exciting places on the planet, YOU REALLY NEED TO DO SOME TRAVELING and get out of the dreadful anglosphere!
I don't believe I said this, but anyway if you can think of anything that any city on this planet has that either London or New York lacks I would be interested to hear it! I wager that your list will not be very long.

Toronto is depressing
A city of 3 million people, with a downtown that is almost empty because everyone is in their cookie cutter suburbs. Honestly I'll pass!
Yet you get westerners who never really went anywhere, thinking Toronto is like heaven on earth!!!! PLEASE!!!! GO TO BANGKOK AND THEN GO BACK TO TORONTO AND TELL ME IF THAT SUBURBAN EXCUSE FOR A CITY FEELS ANYTHING AS VIBRANT AND FUN!
Let's not even get started on some of the Americans here who think places like ZZZZzzzzsuburbiATLANTA is one of the most exciting places on the planet!!!
Or Portland oregon with its gloomy weather and its provincial prejudiced classist vegans is one of the most exciting metropolis on the planet!!!

Plenty of places offer more than NYC or London
you're pretty narrow minded if you think everyone wants to live in a prohibitively expensive, multicultural, busy work work work work hurry up move move type of place!!!
I much rather sit in Rio, sip caipirinhas, have sex with a latin hunk on copacabana and listen to some samba than sit in some crowded subway line infested with rats, psychotic people, in a racially segregated city like NYC where if you're not the right skin color, you're often led to feel like you are the odd number that doesn't really match with the equation!!!

You haven't actually answered my question here, can you give us the list I asked you for?
