Ah, Autumn in New York. With crisp air and beautiful changing leaves, who wouldn’t want to visit the Empire State this time of year? Oddly enough, a lot of people. That is why New York ran its long-running, “Autumn in New York” ad campaign. I remember it as an adjunct to the more famous, “I Love New York” campaign, but I found them equally compelling. The campaign can easily trace its roots to the popular song of the same name. “Autumn in New York” is a jazz standard composed by Vernon Duke. It was written for the 1934 Broadway musical Thumbs Up! While originally written for that musical, a ludicrous number of covers of it have been recorded over the years. Perhaps, most famous was this cover by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong.
