Obtained pigmeat for New York, informally (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gotham

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

'new york informally' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'obtained pigmeat' is the wordplay.
'obtained' becomes 'got' ('get' can be a synonym of 'obtain').
'pigmeat' becomes 'ham' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'got'+'ham'='GOTHAM'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gotham that I've seen before include "Village associated with simpleton stories" , "Where some wise men traditionally lived" , "- - City, Superman lives here" , "Batman lives in ...... City" , "Nickname for New York" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
