I loved the hell out of this movie and I really want to see other films that have similar tone and humour. Can anyone recommend anything like that?

If you mean New York-based comedies, you can't go wrong with some other Neil Simon plays-into-movies:
THE SUNSHINE BOYS
PLAZA SUITE
COME BLOW YOUR HORN
THE OUT-OF-TOWNERS
"May I bone your kipper, Mademoiselle?"

Pretty much any movie made from a Neil Simon script will have the same tone and humor. Bradford-1 lists some in this thread, and on his theme I'd add
Barefoot in the Park
and
The Goodbye Girl
(although that one was not a Simon play first).
"We hear very little, and we understand even less." - Refugee in Casablanca

Also try:
THE RAT RACE (though not specifically a comedy, it has many humorous moments and Tony Curtis and Debbie Reynolds have great chemistry)
SUNDAY IN NEW YORK (Norman Krasna adapted his own play; features a gorgeous Jane Fonda cavorting with Rod Taylor, Robert Culp & Cliff Robertson)
"May I bone your kipper, Mademoiselle?"
