Would the same idea work for other cities? NYC has some colorful names for it's neighborhoods and areas such as Hell's Kitchen (a feeding place for the damned) and Time's Square (where the spirit of time resides, perhaps).
I live in Los Angeles and can't think of much off-hand that could be reconstrued into a magical landscape. Perhaps San Francisco would be more appropriate.
LA wouldn't work becuase it has no soul. haha. and the few subways we have are named after streets and arent all that interesting.

There's a book called War for the Oaks that involves a faerie battle in Minneapolis. The book predates Neverwhere (I think it was written in the mid-80s). I read it after Neverwhere, and although I like Gaiman's work better, I'm convinced it was an inspiration for him.
