I was a New Yorker, and sadly this is the view held by many. Many New Yorkers say NYC is the best city in the world without having lived much outside NYC.
Having said that, I do think NYC has the best overall subway network in the United States. It pales to more modernized subways around the world, but it's the most comprehensive network I rode in US.
I’d argue NYC’s network the most comprehensive in the world based on the number of stations. Sure, some of the stations look like something from a horror movie (I’m looking at you Chambers Street) but you can’t argue with the fact that this system can get you to the most number of places.
