I tend to watch a lot of videos of helicopter rides as its enjoyable, and I encountered this one of NYC right after watching one of Shanghai.
I have to say, this is probably the best one I've seen so far, and I've seen several of the same route. What this guy does is also cover the Bronx, and the Jersey side which is unique as most tend to focus just on Manhattan. 1st part starts off from the South Seaport, goes to the harbor, follow the Hudson North, into the Bronx, and on the way back, covers the Jersey side. Great quality, and its worth the 20 minutes. Some nice music, with this muted, and it makes for a enjoyable video.
Its from fall of 2012, but it beats many of the more recent ones.

Your right, Hong Kong is denser. While it might have a larger land mass, a lot of it is unbuildable due to the mountains. Hence the insane number of skinny towers which house 1000's. Peak density is also much higher. In terms of units, the ones in HK are not spacious. 900 sq ft is massive in that city. New Yorkers might have small apartments (most of them), but its nothing compared to the pods that they have in HK or Tokyo.
