New

How do you pronounce Newark and New York? Do you say the "new" part as "noo" or "nyoo"? I used to say the "new" part as "nyoo" for both cities, but now I tend to say "noowork" and "nyoo york" just to distinguish the two and because I tend to hear "noowork" more often than "nyoowork". However, according to Wikipedia, they're supposed to be pronounced "nyoo"-"work"/"york".
