"These little town blues are melting away, I'll make a brand new start of it In old New York. If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere. It's up to you, New York, New York!!" Oh man, when I first arrived in New York City I sang New York, New York constantly, like a mantra. New York has inspired so many artists to write about it like they were having their own little love affair. Being the "mixtape making genius" that I am, I started collecting EVERY SONG, about New York and sang them out loud while walking down the streets with my ipod on full blast. So whether you need the perfect place to accompany the perfect song, or you're interested in finding out exact locations, this is your guide. Sing out! Even if you aren't as talented as Billy Joel, I still love you.

New York is a big city, that can easily make you feel like you’re drowning if you don’t keep your head high and your dreams intact. If you’re lacking on the inspiration, feeling a little blue….DOWNLOAD: Dream Like New York by Tyrone Wells
Frank Sinatra sang “Lullaby Of Broadway” sing your version at Angelo and Maxi’s

To 14th Street where I won’t hurry”

Billy Joel is the KING of New York music.
Nothing screams “NEW YORK!” more than Billy Joel, hello….he’s the “Piano Man” who married an “Uptown Girl.” He was such a prolific songwriter in fact that he had Broadway play (Movin’ Out) based on his music set in; New York!
Visit Empire Diner from his song “Great Wall of China”
and have your own “Scenes From an Italian Restaurant” at the exact restaurant Billy was inspired to write the song about, Angelos!
Oh and that little ditty, “She’s Got A Way About Her?” He wrote that one about me.

Strut Down Broadway.......
Put on your tap shoes. And anything with glitter on it….preferably gold glitter, if you’re really going to go full out, while listening to ON BROADWAY by George Benson.
THEY SAY THE NEON LIGHTS ARE BRIGHT ON BROADWAY
THEY SAY THERE’S ALWAYS MAGIC
IN THE AIR
BUT WHEN YOU’RE WALKIN’ DOWN THE STREET
AND YOU AIN’T HAD
ENOUGH TO EAT
THE GLITTER RUBS RIGHT OFF AND YOU’RE NOWHERE
THEY SAY
THE WOMEN TREAT YOU FINE ON BROADWAY
BUT LOOKIN’ AT THEM JUST GIVES ME THE
BLUES
‘CAUSE HOW YA GONNA MAKE SOME TIME
WHEN ALL YOU GOT IS ONE THIN
DIME
AND ONE THIN DIME WON’T EVEN SHINE YOUR SHOES
THEY SAY THAT I
WON’T LAST TOO LONG ON BROADWAY
I’LL CATCH A GREY HOUND BUS FOR HOME THEY ALL
SAY
BUT THEY’RE DEAD WRONG I KNOW THEY ARE
‘CAUSE I CAN PLAY THIS HERE
GUITAR
AND I WON’T QUIT TILL I’M A STAR ON BROADWAY
I say….LEARN THE LYRICS, and sing out loud….who knows maybe someone will discover you, or give you a dime.
