For example for the following XML
<Order>
<Phone>1254</Phone>
<City>City1</City>
<State>State</State>
</Order>
I might want to find out whether the XElement contains "City" Node or not.

Just use the other overload for Elements.
bool hasCity = OrderXml.Elements("City").Any();
It's been a while since I did XLinq, but here goes my WAG:
from x in XDocument
where x.Elements("City").Count > 0
select x
;
