For instance, NYC has more museums, things open late at night, and no tourists are bored enough to try something called a "robot restaurant" or illegal Mario themed street karts.
I feel like rather than being something people do because they're desperately bored that's the kind of thing people go to Japan specifically to seek. People in New York go to axe-throwing bars and other stuff that sounds somewhere between boring and ridiculous to me but I'm not casting aspersions on the city over it.
