Comment:

A mix for a friend moving to NYC. Selected songs according to any combination of the following: explicitely about New York, by an artist from NYC, conveys a sense of urban life. All were ultimately chosen b/c of potential appeal to tape recipient (natch) and the boundaries of my taste/record collection (so no Billy Joel).
