There really isn't one, I'm afraid.
Galaxies have broadband light emission, and every filter that cuts light pollution would also dim the galaxy.

The best way to get better views of galaxies is to drive the scope to darker skies.

That doesn't mean that you cannot view galaxies at all in or near a city, merely that all you will see is the cores of galaxies, and quite a bit dimmer than from darker skies.

If galaxies are of interest, I'd look into traveling to darker skies at least once a month on the New Moon dates to see how much more you can see.
It'll be profound.
