The Carlyle is on the NE corner of Madison and 76th; the stack just right of it is on the south side of 75th just west of the East River. The three Galaxy towers in Guttenberg tinyurl.com/yhq8pvs Will open in a new tab or window bracket the twin towers of the San Remo, on Central Park West from 74th to 75th St.

    L to R: the pink arch of the Hell Gate bridge; the black-capped building at the NE corner of Riverside Drive and 103rd St; the closer building is tinyurl.com/ygtug93 Will open in a new tab or window, then the aptm tower is tinyurl.com/yzfuhl2 Will open in a new tab or window. Peeking out beyond that is the NW tower of the suspension span of the Triboro Bridge; the SE tower must be hidden by the hulking black Mt Sinai, betw 5th and Madison Aves, 99th to 100th St. Just right of the Hell Gate arch, that thicket of trees in the middle of the foreground cemetery conceals the west end of the NY&SW tunnel to Edgewater.
