    New York is the fifteenth solo studio album by American musician Lou Reed, released in January 1989 on Sire Records.
    The album received universal critical acclaim upon release, and is widely considered to be among Reed's strongest solo efforts. It is highly regarded for the strength and force of its lyrical content; Reed stated that he required simple music so that it would not distract from his frank lyrics. The single "Dirty Blvd." was a number-one hit on the newly created Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart for four weeks.
    Reed's former band, the Velvet Underground, were at the peak of their cult popularity in the late 1980s, but his solo career had hit several lows during the 1980s. The widespread popularity of New York reignited his career to the extent the Velvet Underground were revived for a world tour.  Velvet Underground drummer Moe Tucker played percussion on two tracks.
    The cover art is a photograph with five different shots of Reed superimposed on the same street scene.  Photography is credited to Waring Abbott.
