I just designed this lyrics worksheet with the "empire state of mind" song from alicia keys in order to practice (what is it like?) question. I think the song is great, given that it depicts the nature of new york city, it allows your students to have a general sense of what's NY like. You can also include the Cultural component in your class by implementing this worksheet, there are some follow up questions that you can use in order to check comprhension of the lyrics and it also fosters students curiosity towards common places in this city.
