blow

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'coke in new york' is the definition.
'blow' can be an answer for 'coke' (I've seen this in another clue). I am unsure of the 'in new york' bit.

'after opening of bottle down' is the wordplay.
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'opening of' suggests taking the first letters.
'down' becomes 'low' (associated in meaning).
The first letter of 'bottle' is 'b'.
'b'+'low' is 'BLOW'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for blow that I've seen before include "Bang, wallop" , "Be windy; unlucky stroke" , "Whistle - hit" , "Sudden misfortune" , "Cuff" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
