I think Houston is in the top 2 as far as urban canyons in the South. (if not 1, then 2)At least among the major cities. Maybe some of the smaller cities have urban canyons, but they wont have the height of Houston.
I think you mean canyon singular. Pics #1, #3, and #4 were all of the same street. Pic #2 I'm unsure about.
Pic 2 is from Bryant Park...so on the same street as the others, just a bit further down. It's directly across from the new BoA Tower (the tall building with the spire in the third picture). Also, I believe pic #2 is facing South, which is why you can see the New York Times Tower, the tall glass building on the left.
Still, you'll be hard pressed to find prettier pictures than that when it comes to gridded canyons. The sunset is perfect in those pics.

Apparently you completely ignored the 15 or so pics I posted of Chicago taken from various vantage points, not just one.
From personal experiences I'd say NYC, Chicago, and SF (in that order) have the most pronounced urban canyons. As demonstrated in many posts above though, almost every major city has an urban canyon of some sort.
