I will say, I was a tour guide in Chicago for years and what is more impressive about Chicago than just its number of extremely tall buildings, is just the sheer number of skyscrapers in the city overall. According to Wikipedia, Chicago has the 10th most skyscrapers in the World with 135 of them, New York is 3rd with 309, the next closest US city is Miami with 58, and Houston with 40...So if you want to see skyscrapers in the USA head to the Windy City and the City that Never Sleeps.
