The Walt Whitman Bridge (Philadelphia) or Sears Tower (Chicago) aren't nearly as recognizable. Although I will say that Washington DC comes close to matching New York, with all the Federal buildings and monuments. True enough, NYC’s the most bang for the buck on landmarks.

I hated it even before the WTC attacks, IE films like Armageddon and people falling out of a skyscrapper already had me horrified, nevermind after the real thing.

The same can't be said for most other cities that might have one or two shots you could use. NY is just easier for the audience.
