I’ve been to large cities here and abroad.
I can say without hesitation, NYC has a vibrancy....a verve.....no other city has.
I think the world agrees with you.
Would you say maybe London (of the past) would be second? Not sure how Londanistan fares any more.

We have been invited to visit by a friend that lives there. I think I will go eventually, for a short time. I’m sure the excitement and energy will wear me out :-)
I much prefer calm and quiet. Like Venezia in the off-season, we can just walk peacefully over bridges and along canals. It definitely is a most serene place. (Serenissima Venezia). Second only to walking on the trails in my forest :-)
