A Heart in New York - Art Garfunkel

New York
To that tall skyline I come
Flyin' in from London
To your door

(New York, New York definitely is my #2.)

I nominate New York You Got Me Dancing by The Andrea True Connection. A good tune that should have been a bigger hit, it peaked at the #27 spot on the Billboard hot 100 chart in 1977.

Edit:

Four songs that I would pick over any of those...

New York's Not My Home - Jim Croce
New York City Is Overrated - Training For Utopia
New New York - The Cranberries
The Only Living Boy In New York - Simon & Garfunkel

How about Lisa Douglas from Green Acres ? " New York is where I'd rather stay, I get allergic smelling hay, I just adore a penthouse view, darling I love you but give me Park Avenue" !:D
