Brookfield New York is a small hick town located in the southern eastern of madison county. It is basically populated by one family, since everyone falls in love with their brother or sister. The only thing they are famous for is their small agricultural fair, that started out as their family reunion.

This is a town where everyone has most likely heard about every single thing you've done since you were born. Girls are nicknamed booty calls here. Guys are pimps or gangsters. Most guys wear pants that could fit a whole party inside, so they can have a party in their pants. Every girl is considered a slut whether they really are one or not. No one can make a good living here mainly because all the drug dealers are getting caught. If someone has a nice car they are considered a drug dealer even if they're only a lawyer.

Traditionally it has meant in the blink of an eye.
But after 9/11, due to the large air play of the song New York Minute (by Don Henley, and covered by the Eagles) it has taken on the further connotation of "A Blink Of an Eye that Changes Everything." Cataclysmic.

A sudden accident that takes a life. Any senseless violence, or of course the 9/11 attacks themselves. But it can be a good event too. When New York legalized Gay Marriage, the media reported the event as a New York Minute - the signing of that bill would change the state forever.
