"The Only Living Boy in New York" is a song written by Paul Simon and performed by Simon and Garfunkel. It is the eighth track from the American pop duo's fifth and final studio album, Bridge Over Troubled Water. The song was also issued as the B-Side to the duo's "Cecilia" single.

Simon wrote this as a thinly-veiled message to Art Garfunkel, referring to a specific incident where Garfunkel went to Mexico to act in the film Catch-22. Simon was left alone in New York writing songs for Bridge over Troubled Water, hence the lonely feelings of "The Only Living Boy In New York." Simon refers to Garfunkel in the song as Tom, referring to their early days when they were called Tom and Jerry, and encourages him to "let your honesty shine...like it shines on me". The background vocals feature both Garfunkel and Simon recorded together in an echo chamber, multi-tracked around eight times.

One of my best friends who I recently reconnected with is leaving for Europe in ten days for the whole summer, and then both of us are heading off to separate colleges. I've known this song for a year or so, but I don't think I've really understood it until now.I'm making her a mix CD to take with her, and a part of me wants to put this on every other track.

The Here I Am multi-layered harmonies, recorded in an echo chamber, are awesome.

It remind me of my (now sadly dead) sister, who loved this song in her early teensS&G were a team. Simon's talent was almost as great as his ego
