Getting your first Metrocard is an exhilarating rite of passage, and it’s even better when you finally get to ride alone. Listen to our Best NYC Songs playlist on Spotify right here. We hope they inspire a little of that NYC strength and spirit in you. There were a bunch to sift through, and we undoubtedly left off a few of your favorites, but these are the NYC songs that mean the most to our staff and writers. In honor of this strong, beautiful city, we rounded up 25 of the best songs ever written about New York. As one of the worst coronavirus hotspots in the U.S., New Yorkers have been forced to show up by hunkering down, isolating in tiny apartments, town homes and studio flats and avoiding the sacred public spaces that normally serve as ad hoc living rooms, kitchens, gathering spaces and homes away from home when actual home is a 900-square-foot closet shared with two other people. New York has had a lot thrown at it, especially this year.
It’s not for everyone-the squash of crowds, sweaty subways and street noise can be overwhelming for some. That doesn’t mean it’s as shiny and wonderful as you’ve been led to believe in every romantic comedy and rock album ever made, but it is one of the most resilient cities we’ve got.
New York is easily the most romanticized American city in movies, music and TV.
