It's a reference to the hectic pace that New York citizens live their lives. The term may have originated in Texas in the late 1960's, with people saying a New Yorker does in an instant what a Texan would do in a whole minute.

Things happen fast in New York, so it's saying the minute is going to be a quick one. I always say, in a cocaine heartbeat, which is also very fast. I'm a nurse, I've heard a lot of those heart beats.
