Even if I weren't born in New York, the fact remains that it's the nearest city where you can really get around on the subway, and its commuter rail takes in a substantially larger area than the state I'm currently living in. But then, there's only a handful of places in the US I'd call a city: Boston is marginal (more a cluster of towns linked by a desultory public transit system), Providence is a college town with a couple of skyscrapers, Hartford is a concrete zit, Santa Fe and Albuquerque are giant suburbs without an urb... besides New York, I think only Seattle and San Francisco count as city-cities in my mind.
