California St. Not the tallest or densest in the city but probably the most scenic, and thus the greatest. It really highlights the things that make SF iconic. The hills, the bridges, cable cars, Chinese heritage, and to a lesser extent the skyscrapers.
I don't think those narrow streets and alleys make for great skyscraper canyons. Are we just picking the narrowest streets with the tallest buildings? Aesthetically, I prefer longer sightlines and grand vistas, like Park Ave through the Upper East Side: https://goo.gl/maps/Dr2XGphFZ6QiJ7G78
Not the best of the world, but worth mentioning: São Paulo's 9 de Julho Avenue.
Not NYC's heights, but for the whole landscape, with a very deep valley with highrises going up a 50 m hill, with all shapes and sizes with some good examples of modernist architecture.
I also like this very dystopian, futurist, unsettling, non-descriptive urban environment:
There are bigger skyscraper canyons in LA, but my favorite is 7th st. Almost exclusively made up of 1920s office buildings. The palm trees are nice too.

Downtown Sao Paulo is so cool. The layered, tiered effect caused by the topography helps to make it seem like one of the most intensely urban places in the world.

New York's are much more massive but this view is more striking; with the incline and the (Bay?) bridge. Walking up and down that hill is hella fun too.
