In Reality Z-25 31-H
In one reality, New York City was home to the headquarters of many companies and financial outfits, including Kelly's bank. In 2010, that particular building was attacked by a UFO, and Kelly and Jenkins were captured by the Vanilla Puddings of Riegel 6. They returned (with newly-minted superpowers) to find that the news of New York's brief attack by aliens had come and gone and the newspapers were once more reporting on the usual celebrity gossip.

Nude York
- See main article: Nude York
“Nude York” was a version of New York once visited by a “biker” incarnation of Jenny, who stated that it was nice, “but inhospitable in the winter”, implying it was a nudist city like Earth-N's. (PROSE: Paying It Forward)
Across the River
In another reality New York City was looked at and talked about, but not visited, by some incarnations of Jenny gathered across the river in Bohoken, New Guernsey. (PROSE: Paying it Forward)

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.

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.
