Heh - there are NY books that totally give me that sense of exile from home. The one lapsed_modernist mentioned above, _Veronica_, is one of them: Rosemary Edgehill's _Bast_ novels do the same thing, as do a handful of good fantasy novels that just epitomize "proper city" to me, even when the city isn't explicitly NY (the _Borderlands_ books, Ellen Kushner's _Swordspoint_, etc.).
Regarding LA, I'd be curious to know if there were other books that gave one some insight into the appeal of LA ... and if you could point me towards the hidden corners of coolness? :)
P.S. - I really like this idea of adjacent realities ....
