 Funny cause not only is NYC bigger than L.A, but it's twice as big.  I also can't figure out how San Antonio is #7, I've been there, doesn't seem that big at all.

 

I also heard that Washington D.C was third largest city if you count the size of the urban area.  I figured NYC was easily number one, but I could never figure what was 2nd.  Either Chicago or San Francisco
