@LightnessRacesinOrbit I can think of a lot of reasons why this might not be necessary. For instance, I have a couple of hundreds of old photos that I took, but can't remember the place I took them. Then, it could be also a friends picture, etc.

This is New York City - looking east across the Hudson from New Jersey.
A similar viewpoint is available from google maps
Probably from around Port Imperial Blvd just north of the Lincoln Tunnel.
Your photo seems to be from a position a little further south than this one though - a bit closer to the tunnel - judging by the angles of the piers.

That is the City of New York and the island/borough of Manhattan. It's a picture of the West Side, Hell's Kitchen, taken from Union City, New Jersey.
The pier on the right is the Intrepid. The other piers are the cruise terminal.
And the pier all the way to the left is for garbage transfer.
