Throw dough in New York (4)
I believe the answer is:
buck
'throw dough' is the definition.
'buck' can be an answer for 'dough' (thesaurus). I am not sure about the 'throw' bit.
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for buck that I've seen before include "Male deer; (pass the) responsibility" , "Blood < money" , "Pass the . . . . - try to evade responsibility" , "Doe's mate" , "Dollar (slang)" .)
