The city so nice they named it twice


When making a mix of New York songs there are a million ways to go about it. The songs written for and about the capital of the world are countless, so I decided to only include songs that explicitly mention the city in the title.

It feels a bit weird in this wonderful spring time of year to include Autumn In New York and New York Is A Christmas Kind Of Town, but they're both too good to exclude.
