Levi in NY is davka Jewish, among all Chassidim for Reb Levi Yitzchok meBerditchev ZYA and in Chabad for the father of the Lubavitcher Rebbe ZYA.

I did not add Menachem Mendel to my original list only because the large number of Sefardim in NY might balance out all the Chassidim who use the name. (Sefardi MM’s are usually born in Paris or EY). Not only Chabad – the three MM’s who come to my mind in the entertainment world, for instance, are Chassidim who have no kesher with Chabad as the name goes back to the earliest Chassidsh masters (Kotsk, Vitebsk).
