Film New York characters describing latte, maybe? (6)
I believe the answer is:
skinny
'characters describing latte maybe?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'film new york' is the wordplay.
'film' becomes 'skin' (I've seen this in other clues).
'new york' becomes 'ny'.
'skin'+'ny'='SKINNY'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for skinny that I've seen before include "little of substance?" , "'Scrawny, weedy (6)'" , "not having much in the way of meat" , "Unattractively thin" , "far from stout!" .)
