Manhattan: York Avenue - 59th Street (East)
York Avenue, north from East 59th Street, showing mainly the easterly side, paralleling the East River. Beyond the power house stacks are the white buildings of the New York Hospital and Cornell Medical College. The dark structures to the right form the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research. Beyond appears the arched Hell-gate Bridge. Note the new East River Drive skirting the river's edge. Overhead is the Queensboro Bridge.
