I suspect a nickname tag would be too subjective. Manhattan, KS has the same nickname. But I don't think too many locals, either in NYC or Manhattan, KS regularly call it that outside of fond hyperbole or tourism pitch.
Plus, there's a lot of places that have just way, way too many nicknames. I'm pretty sure I know more nicknames for Portland than some languages rooted in arctic regions have words for differing kinds of winter precipitation.
