Ummm... Mexico City is not in the U.S., and it is MUCH larger than NYC.  Mexico City's metropolitan area has a population of more than 18 million, which is nearly half the entire population of California.\n\nStrictly in America, the largest cities are, in order\n\n1. New York City, NY - about 8.1 million\n2. Los Angeles, CA - about 3.8 million\n3. Chicago, IL - about 2.9 million\n4. Houston, TX - 2.0 mil\n5. Philidelphia, PA - 1.5 mil\n6. Phoenix, AZ - 1.4 mil\n7. San Diego, CA - 1.3 mil\n8. San Antonio, TX - 1.2 mil\n9. Dallas, TX - 1.2 mil\n10. San Jose, CA (yeah!) - 0.9 million (tho we're over 1 mil now)\n\nAnd in case you're curious, here are the top 10 most populous METROPOLITAN AREAS (so will be higher than above list) worldwide:\n\n1. Tokyo, Japan - 28.0 mil\n2. Mexico City, Mexico - 18.1 mil\n3. Mumbai, India - 18.0 mil\n4. Sao Paulo, Brazil - 17.7 mil\n5. New York City, USA - 16.6 mil\n6. Shanghai, China - 14.2 mil\n7. Lagos, Nigeria - 13.5 mil\n8. Los Angeles, USA - 13.1 mil\n9. Calcutta, India - 12.9 mil\n10. Buenos Aires, Argentina - 12.4 mil\n\nI think these are all 2004 numbers, so if anything, they would all be a little higher.

Griffith Park comprises 4,107.87 acres. Still, Griffith can't beat out Philly's famed Fairmount Park, which boasts 4,618 acres, according to the Fairmount Park Commission. Admittedly 379 acres of this consists of the Schuylkill, a river. Even deducting this, however, we have 4,239 acres of dry land, enough to beat out Griffith.\n\nBut Fairmount isn't the biggest city park either. It isn't even second biggest. The largest city park in the U.S. is South Mountain Park in Phoenix, Arizona, which presently comprises 16,169 acres and eventually will encompass 16,455 acres. Second place goes to another Phoenix park--Phoenix Mountain Reserve, now 7,358 acres, eventually to be 7,750 acres.

This was more than twice the population of Los Angeles, which ranked second at 3.8 million. The estimates show that among the 10 largest cities, only one change has occurred in the rankings: San Jose, California, has replaced Detroit, as the nation’s 10th most populous city."

Los Angeles, known around the world as "L.A." or by locals as the "City of Angels", is the most populous city in the state of California and the second-most in the United States. One of the world's major global cities, it is located in Southern California and has a population of just over 4 million people, [3] spanning 498 square miles. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the Los Angeles metropolitan area has a total area of 4,850 square miles and is home to roughly 13 million people. Los Angeles is also one of the world's most multicultural cities.\n\nLos Angeles was founded in 1781 though it was not incorporated as a municipality until April 4, 1850—five months before California achieved statehood—and is the county seat of Los Angeles County.\n\nLos Angeles is one of the world's most important centers of culture, science, technology, international trade, and higher education, and is home to numerous world-renowned institutions in a broad range of professional and cultural fields. Los Angeles has a wide and diverse range of museums, theatres, and galleries. In addition, the city is a leading producer of popular entertainment—such as motion pictures, television, and recorded music—which forms the base of its international fame and global status. In many circles, Los Angeles is considered the leading center of American popular culture and its numerous media companies are a driving force in the Americanization of many countries in the Western world.\n\nAccording to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 498.3 square miles (1,290.6 km²)—469.1 square miles (1,214.9 km²) of it is land and 29.2 square miles (75.7 km²) of it is water. The total area is 5.86% water.\n\nThe extreme north-south distance is 44 miles (71 km), the extreme east-west distance is 29 miles (47 km), and the length of the city boundary is 342 miles (550 km). The land area is the 9th largest among cities in the Continental United States (i.e. excluding Juneau, Alaska and Honolulu, Hawaii).\n\nThe highest point in Los Angeles is Sister Elsie Peak (5,080 feet) at the far reaches of the northeastern San Fernando Valley, part of Mt. Lukens. The Los Angeles River is a largely seasonal river flowing through the city, with headwaters in the San Fernando Valley. Its length is almost entirely lined in concrete.\n\nThe Los Angeles area is remarkably rich in native plant species. With its beaches, dunes, wetlands, hills, mountains, and rivers, the area contains a number of important biological communities. The largest area is coastal sage scrub, which covers the hillsides in combustible chaparral. Native plants include: California poppy, matilija poppy, toyon, coast live oak, giant wild rye grass, and hundreds of others. Unfortunately, many native species are so rare as to be endangered, such as the Los Angeles sunflower.\n\nThere are many exotic flowers and flowering trees that are blooming year-round, with subtle colors, including the jacaranda, hibiscus, phlox, bougainvillea, coral tree blossoms and bird of paradise. If there were no city here, flower-growing could still flourish as an industry, as it does in Lompoc. Wisteria has been known to grow to house-lot size, and in Descanso Gardens there are forests of camellia trees. Orchids require special attention in this Mediterranean climate.\n\nYou could get more information from the link below...
