NYC has more people in it than my entire country.
...wow.
To be fair, the population is misleading. The city's actually broken into 5 parts. Most people think about Manhattan (Where the Empire State Building is, the Twin Towers were, the famous museums are, etc.) when thinking about NYC. And that part only has 1.6 mil.
After that in fame comes Brooklyn, which is where Coney Island is. It's not really famous for much, though, aside from the fact that people actually live there. It's much larger than Manhattan of course, but most of the buildings aren't that high. 2.5 mil.
The Bronx is pretty much the same, but even less well-known. 1.5 mil, and the only thing I can think of worth mentioning is its zoo... which isn't even that good. At least, it has nothing on the one in Washington D.C.
Staten Island and Queens are really more like suburban areas that just happen to be a part of NYC. They're massive, but you'll actually see houses there. Queens is 2.2 mil and Staten Island is 500k.
So if we just consider the two main parts of the city, Denmark does have more. :P
Of course, the fact remains that Copenhagen has a density of like 6k/km^2 and Manhattan has a density of... 27k/km^2. :P
