Definitely not in the world lol, I don't think most Europeans care for or have any idea of the geography of New York
We did listen to Beastie Boys over here too you know.
(So there are only five boroughs)
I don't know, I think maybe it depends on age? Most people exposed to US media will recognize at least the landmarks, but that's probably true of other cities as well.
But NYC has been in so many videogames I feel younger people with a passing interest in gaming will at least have a weird set of expectations. Of Manhattan, if nothing else. The twenty years of open world Spider-Man games alone are more exposure to an overhead map of a city than most people get of the place where they live in that amount of time.
