So what´s your (or some other city´s) nickname? Or is there some sort of "slogan"/"saying"? And I don´t mean names used in everyday language.
A few I came up with: NYC - "The big apple", "The city that never sleeps",
London - (saying) "When I man is tired of London he´s tired of life, for there is in London all that life can afford"
Paris - "City of lights", "City of Romance"
St:Peterburg - "Paris of the North"
Shanghai - "Paris of the East", "Pearl of the orient"
Rome - "The eternal city
