nope. When most people think of visiting nyc, they think Manhattan. Many tourists come here and never set foot in the other boroughs.
.
This is an odd statement that i never got
Manhattan is the citen center focal point of nyc. Every city in the world has that. Most of the world would take an L compared to Manhattan.
The boroughs are 1/5 of Nyc , not meant to be competition to manhattan
Many tourist come here and set foot in world class institutions in the bronx(yankee stadium,bronx zoo etc)Brooklyn bridge brooklyn museum etc

Breh New York was just a bigger, smelly version of the Chi. Name one city other than my that is a bigger version of the Chi in the US
You're talking about London, Paris and Tokyo when they definitely aren't built like Chicago or NY for that matter
New York is not layed out anything like Chicago. Chicago not even costal/port city. NYC is of enoourmous stature globally in the financial sector. Chicago is densely populated in the downtown area and that's about it NYC has 3 distinctive skylines.
Chicago is a big ass suburb with a downtown of a major city. We could compare Chicago to Brooklyn and that would be a conversation.

Please correct me.
Because if Chicago is coastal than any rinky dink down with a lake is "coastal"
And by ports I'm talking about international ports like NYC, Newark, Brooklyn, Oakland, Long Beach, Miami.
Being a port has a massive impact culturally and economically. You can't compare a costal gateway to the world to a city in the Midwest.

.....yes there are.
Chicago is right off the 5th largest lake in the world and isn't a port city now?

How much traffic it has doesn't matter, fact is Chicago is literally right on the 5th largest lake in the world and the largest city on the largest freshwater system in the world. So yes it is a port city

It's a fukking land locked lake!
You really don't understand what "port city" means.
We're talking about global business. We're talking about shipping your car to Africa to be sold, we're talking about being able to ship cooking oil/rice/clothing to the fam in Panama(or where every your fam is). Hopping in a cruise to Europe/the Caribbean.
You talking about some boats that go back and forth across a lake.

Yeah but I see it from friends and friends of friends all the time when they come here.
They're all hyped up about hanging out in the city, but no one has ever said "hey...let's go check out Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens or Staten Island tonight." All they wanna do is hang out in the city...either in Times Square, or somewhere in lower manhattan...like Union Square, Soho, E/W Village or Tribeca.
My parents and relatives are the same way when they come from Philly to visit. They have zero interest in hanging out in the other 4 boroughs. They want to eat, walk around, and go to shows and museums in the city.
The Big difference between Manhattan being the epic center and say other cities like London, Paris, Rome, Moscow, Beijing etc is that Manhattan is seperated by water compared to the others. I think it's a natural inhibition that intimidates people. Plus alot of people are intimated by the subway system. Most people from what I can tell, don't ant to go through the trouble of exploring (getting lost and frustrated) when everything that they planned on doing is in Manhattan anyway.
NYC has for a few decades now has been trying to spread some of the city's popularity into the other boroughs by turning them into extensions of the city itself with the housing, stores and subway system. Look at every part of the city that borders manhattan--theyre more popular than ever. Look at LIC, in Queens, Williamsburg, Fort Green, marble Hill in the bronx and St. george in SI. They're all competing for tourism and people from the city.
And yeah, alot of people do go to the other places, but alot don't probably more so don't than do. Most people who have the energy will walk the BK bridge...if they're feeling a little adventurous...they'll walk past Tillary St...MAYBE onto Jay St and into Fulton Mall...and that's a BIG maybe. Most people otherwise, walk the bridge and circle back to the city.
I personally don't know a single person who from out of town mentioned the BK museum, and the only people i know with interested in Yankee stadium are die hard baseball fans which barely exist anywhere. JMHO
