How about something a little different, i.e., the altitude and relief of your city. Below are the high points in all the boroughs of NYC. I would include the low point, but they are at sea level for all five:
Staten Island - Todt Hill: 420 ft/128 mtrs.
Bronx - Fieldston Hill; 285 ft/87 mtrs.
Manhattan - Bennett Park; 265 ft/81 mtrs.
Queens - North Shore Tower Hill; 258 ft/79 mtrs.
Brooklyn - Battle Hill - 220 ft/67 mtrs.

Parts of NYC have some cool hills, especially the northern and central parts of Staten Island, where the hills are very steep and some of the streets resemble San Fran. Northern Manhattan and the Western end of the Bronx are pretty hilly too and provide some great views over looking the Hudson, e.g., Inwood in Manhattan and Wave Hill in the Bronx.>
