Sights and places in NYC

O

OldNumber7

I'm thinking there are a lot of songs about places in NYC (not just the city itself).
For example,
Nights on Broadway - Bee Gees
8th Avenue Shuffle - Doobie Brothers
I can think of some more, but it's your turn.
 
Washington Square - The Village Stompers
 
52nd Street - Billy Joel
59th Street Bridge Song - Simon & Garfunkel or Harper's Bazaar
 
Coney Island Baby - Tom Waits (yes, I know, this would be Brooklyn, but who's counting?)
 
On Broadway- The Drifters and covered by others artists including George Benson
 
Pennsylvania 6-5000 - Glenn Miller Orchestra (PEnnsylvania 6-5000 is claimed by its owner, the Hotel Pennsylvania, (401 7th Ave) to be the oldest continuing phone number in New York City. Many big band names played in the Hotel Pennsylvania's Cafe Rouge Ballroom, including the Glenn Miller Orchestra; the phone number became the inspiration for the Glenn Miller 1940 Top 5 Billboard hit song of the same name, written by Jerry Gray and Carl Sigman.)
