New York City (Theme)

From This Might Be A Wiki

This article is about songs which make reference to New York City. For the TMBG song, see New York City.

Songs which single out specific boroughs:

Dashiki Lover - Set in Andy Warhol's Factory
Electric Car - "To the west side in an electric car"
I'll Sink Manhattan
New York City "Times Square, Rockefeller Center...." and about half of the other locations mentioned are in Manhattan.
