Tony Bennett was Mr. New York.
Born and raised in the Astoria neighborhood in the borough of Queens, Anthony Benedetto lived and breathed the Big Apple. He later made his home in Manhattan, where he took walks in Central Park and painted by the sunlight cascading through windows overlooking the urban oasis. He rehearsed songs at the side of a grand piano in his, ahem, tony apartment, songs he knew like the back of his hand, but never performed the same way twice.
