Cat Power's love letter to Manhattan includes stops in Tompkins Square Park and Max Fish
Stereogum has the new video clip from onetime East Village resident Cat Power today... Here's their take: "'Manhattan'" is an absolutely gorgeous wafting cloud of a song from Cat Power’s excellent 2012 album Sun, and its brand-new video effectively works as a love letter to the titular island."
Cat Power, aka Chan Marshall, co-directed the video with Greg Hunt. You'll spot many very familiar locations throughout the song.
Per Stereogum: "This is a wonderful music video, and if you are not currently in New York, it will make you wish you were there."

And in case folks missed it, Vampire Weekend recently released another nice trip around town in vid/song "Step" also available at Vevo or YouTube.
Enjoy!
It's nice to hear some Manhattan love - all I hear is hate nowadays.
Great stuff. Is that Grace Church at 2:56?
@Dr Bop,
I like those two new VW songs, Step is v cool and cool shots of NYC. The other viddy kind of hurts cause I have such a thing for old Saabs, but its a good song.
This is great, I dont know much about Cat Power, but a good song and great Max Fish Cameo.
Great older NYC Vid?
