Attacked by a battle mech
In one superhero universe, as was often the case, New York was notorious for “get[ting] supervillains like [they] [got] rain”. It had a large number of superheroes to balance things out, including the Shifter and Lauren Ipsum Drake. A “giant battle mech” once attacked downtown New York, stomping through Manhattan and making its way down Broadway towards the Erikson Circle, but Lauren shifted into her Dragon form and defeated it. (PROSE: Truth in Labeling)
Donna Jones and Dave DoNot's universe
In one universe, New York City's inhabitants included Donna Jones, Dave DoNot, Gunther, a Metro Diner employee, August P. Mel, Elaine Benes, Sinbad, Jenny Everywhere, and Tex. Locations in the city included Central Perk, Metro Diner, Times Square, and the Empire State Building.
Donna Jones once ordered an Irish coffee in Central Perk, and went on to order another coffee from Metro Diner. In a coffee-induced trance, she "caus[ed] havoc" around town, at least according to reporter August P. Mel. After finding herself in Times Square, she noticed the Empire State Building, deciding to climb it. Atop the tower, she was observed by Elaine Benes, Sinbad, and Dave DoNot, the latter of whom lived with her.
After the trance wore off, Dave helped her down from the tower, with them both walking past as Jenny Everywhere spoke with Tex. (COMIC: St. Patty's at Battery Park)
Nyarlathotep and the Carter kids
In one universe, Nyarlathotep, having acquired the “fourth Shining Trapezohedron”, attempted to lay an ambush for Dwain and Karolyn Carter in “lower Manhattan” in New York City. However, thanks to both parties phoning the Multidimensional Finders Service for information, the Carters evaded Nyarlathotep and took refuge in Kadath where Nyarlathotep could not reach them. Nyarlathotep subsequently phoned the M.F.S. a second time while standing on “a rooftop in New York City” and was informed of this. (PROSE: Who Laws the Lawyers?)
Behind the scenes
By virtue of being a real place, New York City can be considered a ‘public-domain’ location in its own right.
