In the foreground are the skyscrapers of Midtown Manhattan stretching from the Chrysler Building on the left to the UN Building on the right.
In the middle of the East River is Roosevelt Island. The Queensboro Bridge connects immediately to Long Island City on the riverfront. To its north on the left is the neighborhood of Astoria. Beyond that is LaGuardia Airport and Flushing.
