"New New York" is the fourteenth episode of the fifth season of the American musical television series Glee, and the 102nd episode overall. It aired on Fox in the United States on April 1, 2014. Effective with this episode, the action of the show is to be centered in New York City, and continue there for the remainder of the season.
Life in New York City has its own challenges for the newly transplanted McKinley graduates and already established glee club members, now that some months have passed. Rachel Berry (Lea Michele) is a leading lady on Broadway with all that entails, Kurt Hummel (Chris Colfer) is now rooming with both fiancé Blaine Anderson (Darren Criss) and Sam Evans (Chord Overstreet), and film school student Artie Abrams (Kevin McHale) has trouble getting places in his wheelchair. Mercedes Jones (Amber Riley) is another arrival in the city; she is looking to record a new album.
With this episode, the show shifts to New York City, where the action will be centered for the remainder of the fifth season, and resumes chronologically after "a few months" have passed since the two-part episode that featured the end of the school year and the glee club's demise. This episode features the smallest number of main cast members present: Michele (Rachel), Colfer (Kurt), McHale (Artie), Criss (Blaine) and Overstreet (Sam). The rest of the season 5 main cast are credited but do not appear.
Recurring characters appearing in this episode include aspiring singer Mercedes Jones (Amber Riley), NYU student and Kurt's band member Elliott "Starchild" Gilbert (Adam Lambert), and Funny Girl producer Sidney Greene (Michael Lerner).
