Related: About this forumA vintage photo of NYC
I was going through some old photos and found this one I took in NYC, Im guessing probably in the mid 70s or early 80s. Anyone here have any idea where this is? Is that the Empire State Building up ahead on the right side of the street? I wish Id have noted the place and the date.

The building with the copper top on the upper right is your best chance to narrow down the location. My bet is a cross street. Also Broadway by 233 has City Hall park on one side.

Only part that seems off is 3rd avenue is supposed to be right there past the Grill on the right. It is kind of open there with it being the top of a hill.
