How do I particularly flavor a TTRPG for the sake of a Fallout NYC setting? (lemmygrad.ml)

I've already got the music and aesthetic down, generally. Big-band, rat-pack, etc. Remnants and burnt out metropolis of rubble with art-deco aesthetics. A motorcycle sect of the Brotherhood of Steel. Punk-rock raiders. We are using a rule-system based off Fallout 2.

I need a combination of 80s shit-movies featured in major NYC locations, big-band 20s feel with a few songs from the 60s. I'm aware of most of the "NYC fallout lore", such that it is a complete crater filled with radioactive waste overran with mutants and ghouls! Perfect!

I understand this and yet, I feel like a massive nuclear crater that was mid-town is a good game opportunity.

What do you think? I'm posting here for the sake of TTRPG and the fact it's based on a game, as well as me asking for art and music direction! (obviously, you know Sinatra's New York was gonna take the cake) I have a few things planned, but I'm curious if there is anything I might have missed!

Happy holidays, and of course, if you wanna join just let me know in DMs!

Maybe toss in some "Escape From New York" references? Or Escape 2000 if any of your player's are MST3K fans
