Hello Shirlisa! Here are some ideas for you.

NOTE: My husband ordered posters of old Chicago train scenes for our TV room. He also put them in wood frames and they look sharp!
Also in that same room I ordered a sign painted by a lady on Etsy.......she painted it on barn red and it simply says Lake Shore Line
There are many ways to do things of this nature. An old newspaper page and put it in a frame.
Do the project together. At 18 you can teach things like how to select colors, choose accessories for a room, budgeting and how to shop and what to DIY.
I'm with Naomie, do it together so he can choose what he likes.
You could try wallpapering one wall with newspapers. If you could get your hands on the New York Times newspaper that might work! Here's some info: https://www.ehow.com/how_6572258_hang-newspaper-walls.html
What about 3D wall stickers/murals? They are quite easily removable, for when he gets a little older and may have changed interests.
I would find some cool artwork that has a NYC cityscape!
