I'm coming over with the family to NYC this Xmas. I've agreed a project with my 10yo that we'll head around town and find all the locations mentioned in Stones songs, take pictures and write a diary etc. Problem is I can't remember all the songs with references to NYC. There was an IORR thread on this subject years ago but can't find it. Please help!

1. Dance pt 1 - corner of West 8th Street and 6th Avenue
2. Shattered - can't give it away on 7th avenue
3. Star Star - no specific location mentioned, any ideas?
4. Heartbreaker - central park is assumed location

I know there's many more, and look forward to remembering them. Any help much appreciated.

5. Miss You ('walk in Central Park…')

Miss You - I've been walking in Central Park

Waiting On A Friend – New York isn't mentioned in the song but the video was filmed in New York

Dancing With Mr D - although it's only specific to hiding in a corner.

Till The Next Time We Say Goodbye ('I know a coffee shop down on Fifty-Second Street' and 'a movie house on Forty-Second Street')

She Was Hot

Harlem Shuffle – not written but recorded by the Stones

When the Whip Comes Down - "I go to 53rd Street and they spit in my face"
"the East River truckers are churning with trash..."
Till the Next Goodbye - "I know a coffee shop down on 52nd Street..."
"A movie house on 42nd Street..."

- She Was Hot ('New York was cold and damp')
- When the Whip Comes Down ('I was gay in New York' and 'The East River truckers')

Yellow Cab is all about NYC.

Honky Tonk Women

Undercover (of the Night) - - "all the way from New York back to Africa".

Ride like the wind at double speed.....

Hot Stuff

All the people in New York City
I know you're all going broke

Just My Imagination

And of all the girls in New York she loves me true

Can we call on the Harlem Shuffle? Not original..

Good Time Women - "Yeah we could land in New York City, with whiskey and mighty fine".....

The Under Assistant West Coast Promo Man - "Well I'm waiting at the bus stop in downtown LA, but I'd much rather be on a boardwalk on Broadway"....

Ride like the wind at double speed.....

So Young ("Took her to Barney's").

[Posted in the wrong threads first ....]

Hot Stuff mentions NY but no specific location there:

All the people in New York City
I know you're all going broke
But I know you're tough, yeah, you're hot stuff

Likewise HTW:
I laid a divorcee in New York City...

Not sure if it's wise to take a 10yo to places where divorcees get laid ...

Not in a song but the photo shoot for “Have you seen your mother” is at 124 E 24th street. Also “Waiting On A Friend” video shoot was 96 St. Marks Place.

I'm sure most on this board know that the building that Keith meets Mick in the video is the cover for Physical Graffiti.

Mr. Blue — the opener of Pay Pack & Follow (2001), John Phillips’ posthumous, quasi-Stones album. Starts with the line, “Meet Mr. Blue, elegant Jew, of New York City”. Recorded in 1973, Mick, Keith and Ronnie all join in the recording here.

Hang on, are you saying that building isn't actually in New York, but Kashmir?

Isn't Kashmir one of the boroughs of New York? Or is it a sweater?
