The smallest measurable amount of time in the universe. Approximately equal to the time between a traffic light turning green in New York City and the cab driver behind you honking his horn.
It was all over in a new york minute.

A very short period of time; within a blink or a heartbeat. Originates from the legendary fast pace of life in New York.

A very short period of time. So named because New York is a busy city where people are in such a rush that a minute seems to pass in less than sixty seconds.
When the most attractive girl in school asked me if I wanted to have sex with her, I thought about it for a New York minute before saying "yes".
