Let's start with an actual sketch by Steinberg himself: It's a drawing Steinberg did in 1981 re-creating his original drawing with somewhat different labelling. From the note in the corner it looks like it might have been customized for a specific fan:

After that we have a variation on the theme for Atlanta, GA:

... then Amsterdam in the Netherlands...

...and Tel Aviv, Israel...

Next we switch to the more politically charged with a parody from editorial cartoonist Ted Rall, who also did a "View of the World from 9th Avenue" parody about Obama's predecessor, Gearge W. Bush:
After that we have another editorial cartoonist, Ruben Bolling and his "Tom the Dancing Bug" series with a "Post 9-11 View of the World from 9th Avenue" featuring ground zero in the foreground.

And here's the cover of a Politico magazine from July of 2009 by M. Wuerker, this one, like the one from Ted Rall, based on Washington D.C., not so much New York City:

And finally there's this one by RJ Matson of the St. Louis Post Dispatch that is more true to the Steinberg original, but has a Global Warming bent to it:

That's it for now. Of course, let me know if you find any others on this theme.
I have several.
