Hi Mr T
I'd have thought most of what we learn about accents we derive from movies and tv. Why not rent a movie set in New York - or watch some old Seinfeld episodes (i've only ever seen one, but i gather it's set in the big apple).
Failing that
Accents and Dialects for the Stage, by Evangeline Macklin, comes with a book and six tapes - a great investment! Try it out at the WAAPA library before you buy.

I'm not sure if David Allen Stern ACTING WITH AN ACCENT does a New York tape.... but if he does I would suggest it would be worth a listen.
(Again...library first)
Only trouble with his series is he assumes you are starting with a US accent...and as his teaching relies on resonance...he assumes you naturally resonate forward in the mouth, whereas most Aussies resonate sort of centrally and high (imho)...Anyway, once you're over that, his series seems to work for a lot of people (used a few different tapes myself, with actors and students.)
Agree with Grant though that immersion through video is a good idea and sometimes is all that is needed. One regular Green Room Gossiper can probably recite In The Name Of The Father for that reason (but her Northern Irish Accent is brilliant !)
