Accountant follows people to see part of New York (7)

'new york' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'accountant follows people to see part' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'accountant' could be 'ca' (abbreviation for chartered accountant) and 'ca' is located in the answer.
'part' could be 'rib' (rib is a kind of part) and 'rib' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'te' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
