> Commonly known in NYC maybe. That view is antiquated in the rest of the US.

Respectfully, I doubt it. People may not _like_ NYC, but ...

- Wall Street - Carnegie Hall -MOMA, etc - As the other poster mentioned, the U.N. - Still tons of movies and shows use NYC as the setting for their story - Broadway, and theatre in the US - A huge part of the publishing industry is in NYC - Along with LA, Nashville, and Atlanta, NYC is one of the hearts of the US music industry.

And I’m sure there’s plenty I missed that we all could add to the list given a little time.

Those all seem like pretty obvious and objective markers identifying NYC as a US, if not world cultural, financial, and political hub.

This is deflecting. I was not arguing at all that NYC isn’t a global power and important city. I’ve been in more live able ones though.
