- Award Snub: Despite being very well-reviewed, it was not nominated for a Grammy Award.
- Ensemble Dark Horse: While Transformer typically gets regarded as Lou Reed's masterpiece by the general public, a good subset of fans are willing to argue more in favor of New York.
- Signature Song: New York is mostly known for the hit "Dirty Blvd".
- Unintentional Period Piece: It's about as late Eighties as it can get, with many names and references that are likely to be obscure to anyone who wasn't alive and well in 1989.
- Special mention goes to referencing the The Morton Downey Jr. Show on "Sick of You", which only aired from 1987-89.
