Well, not really.
In 1917 New York had absolutely zero competition. Sure there was Chicago but it was still a far second place.
Fast forward to now and there are a lot of places where you can make it "big" without being in New York. And I'm not just talking about in the US, but internationally. But just in the US you have LA and Hollywood, the Bay Area and tech, Houston and energy, etc. In 1917 none of these options existed. If you were trying to be big you were basically only in New York, and in some cases Chicago.
