Most of the skyline shots of NYC are from east to west since that clearly shows the breadth of the skyline.  This week I was lucky enough to get a great view looking south from 86th Street.  The night had a lot of clouds moving through and I would have loved to do a time lapse video - but this shot shows a dramatic view of the Hudson and NY and NJ.  Hopefully you can view on a good screen and see all the details you may recognize.
