I also don't think people traveling from London to the EU is an apples-to-apples comparison to international travelers to New York, most of whom have to get on a trans-Atlantic or trans-Pacific flight to reach the city. You can easily "daytrip" to London from various countries in the EU.
Sure, stick NYC into Europe or make all the US states foreign (eg passport control, Visas) etc and IM sure you'd get great results. I'd however hesitate to say you can easily 'daytrip' into London from abroad, at the very quickest (Eurostar from Paris) it would cost you $200 and take out 5-6 hrs still of your day, including getting to the Eurostar stations. By fastest car 9hrs return, by coach/ ferry/ Channel Tunnel would take 18 hrs return.
