Old New York

...

Mr. Adams, dear Mr. Adams,
I have been presented with a new son from the Noble Stork,
And so I am going home to celebrate and pop a cork,
With all the Livingstons together back in Old New York,

...

~ Robert Livingston to John Adams in 1776


The tune popped into my head when I read this from the wonderful Neil Shakespeare.

...

And now this is "Old New York", or maybe the "New Old New York", since there was an Old New York already that Sinatra used to sing about. But he's gone too now.
