That depends on what kind of NYC feel you want. Are you looking for Manhattan chic, or Greenwich Village hip? Or are you a more into the urban feel (think of the sets from "Rent").

The link above is a very elegant and minimalist interpretation of New York style.
If you're thinking of the more earthy side of New York then you'll want to go for funky eclectic pieces in bright but worn colors. Like the ones in this picture: http://msnbcmedia2.msn.com/j/msnbc/Components/Photos/051101/051101_rent_hmed_4p.h2.jpg
If you're thinking more Broadway, then go with black, white, silver, and gold with theatre posters and street signs.
New York is a very diverse place and has diverse definitions for style.

Well I think you should have many different color lights in the room and I think that you should have paintings on the wall of like stuff in tha NYC and stuff like that.

1] wall one - NYC skyline
2] wall two - Broadway lights around posters of famous or favorite shows
3] bed, park bench for seating, painted grate or manhole rugs
4] central park - trees, benches, sidewalks [ this should be window wall ] Paint pigeons on the glass.
5] copies of street signs or names above closet doors

Move all your furniture into a closet and convince yourself it's a spacious flat :)
