You can use this Google Geocoding API below,

http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=Winnetka&sensor=false

In the place of address=Winnetka you can write address= New York,

You will get the lat and long in the xml responce so just parse the output.

Enjoy!

You can also use the Places Autocomplete API, which you may find useful.
