Not memoir like, but in Book Lovers by Emily Henry the main character is deeply in love with NYC. The audiobook is well done. I hate the place but now have a new appreciation for the parts of it that are magical to its fans.

Have you read New York by Edward Rutherfurd? It's quite good and spans several generations.

Time and Again by Jack Finney - I read and re-read and re-read this novel as a teenager

Sister Carrie by Theodore Dreiser - still considered by many the greatest American urban novel, takes place in Chicago and NYC

It takes place all over the place--Las Vegas, Amsterdam. I didn't think it was a very good book, either, but opinions obviously differ.

Indiscretion by Charles Dubow, if you are OK with East Hampton and Paris also as major settings.

Between Two Kingdoms. A memoir not set entirely in NYC but maybe enough?

Let the Great World Spin is not a memoir but is set in NYC and includes Petit's tightrope walk between the Twin Towers.
