A short period of time. "I'll have that oil changed in a New York minute." People think that New Yorkers are always in a hurry.

A brief period of time.
It doesnt mean an exact time (unlike jiffy which means 1/100 of a second)
It is derived from the thought that New Yorkers are always in a rush and busy, so a "new york minute" is something that goes by really fast (as if it was in a rush)

Like a New York City block. It takes a New York minute to walk. Then to Drive there.
It's also safer.
