You might want to add that this is for the metro area because the population of San Francisco itself is well under 2 million people. Same with Kansas City and St. Louis.

Big Apple City, has a nice ring to it. We checked the USGS website that maintains official US place names, and the listings there are "New York" and "New York State" for the city and state respectively.
