For New Yawk you need to talk into your nose. Nothing back in your throat or head, all in your nose & your palate. Replace a few "L's" & "R's" with "W's", and draw out your vowels. Especially A's.
Watch this cut of "Adelaide's Lament" from "Guys and Dolls". She's supposed to be in Chicago, but I maintain she talks and sings with nearly a pure New York City accent.
