One of the few places where you can rent a 300sf apartment for two grand a month and share a bag of Cheetos with your freeloading roomie; a 30 pound rat.
Rep for this one. I think that if one doesn't live well in Manhattan, it could be an ugly place to hang one's hat.

What RedJacket said sounds similar to any Central London district. These world-class metropolises are not all fun and games when you have limited disposable income, especially when you could have a lot of disposable income in another city.
Tokyo, NYC and London each can make a legitimate claim IMO. Their strengths are different, and so are their vibes, so depends on what you prefer.
There are people that prefer scenery, nature, climate, and diversity too, just so you know. To those same people they get all this with their city in LA and to them it might as well be the best city in the world. Also interesting that you're excluding Paris from your list. Why?
What??? I don' t think that ANY European city wants to imitate NY. And what do you mean with imitating?? Like building skyscrapers?? Increase population? Make city a concrete jungle? To make those cities superficial and all about the market ?
Yes, cities all over the world have been building skyscrapers mostly during the past few decades... But New York City already did that successfully more than 100 years ago.
I agree that doesn't make it the greatest city, just remarkably influential.

Personally I prefer New York but an argument can be made for any of these cities as the worlds best and each one has their strengths and weaknesses. They're all in the same ballpark, in my personal opinion.

Um yeah maybe if you live in the projects. I wouldn't live in NYC if I had no money though.
