The Guardian has a suggested list here:

Top 10 New York novels

From Edith Wharton to Jennifer Egan, the city has inspired countless stories, all of them sharing one major character – the metropolis itself

They aren't all historical, but some are. I actually loved Kavalier and Clay.

Colm Tóibín's Brooklyn also comes to mind.
