"I Happen to Like New York" is a popular song written by Cole Porter for the 1930 musical The New Yorkers when it was introduced by Oscar Ragland.[1]

The song has become a standard of the Great American Songbook, with recordings by many different artists. Judy Garland recorded the song for her 1962 album The Garland Touch,[2] while Caterina Valente recorded the song as the title track of her 1964 album. The song opens the 1987 Liza Minnelli live album At Carnegie Hall.[3] A 1973 recording by Bobby Short from the album Live at the Café Carlyle[4] was used in the 1993 film Manhattan Murder Mystery.[5] British-born singer Dorothy Carless closes her album Mixed Emotions (1956) with the song.
