There, shining in the sunrise, larger than they had seen him before, shaking his mane (for it had apparently grown again) stood Aslan himself.

I've always thought the "named twice" saying refers to the fact that New York City is in New York State, and so when you say or write the names of the city and its state, it's "New York, New York"... as in the song. Giggle   But both those explanations fit.

Getting back to the game (and taking New Amsterdam as the previous answer)... 

Manhattan, the island on which the original and still most famous portion of New York City is built.

Anaheim, a suburb of Los Angeles

(where on arrival in USA for the first time I ate second breakfast at a mexican restaurant while waiting to phone my hosts to pick me up;  they thought me hilarious for not noticing the main entrance to a certain entertainment-land across the road!)
