This image was taken at the Mirador 49 Boulevard East lookout spot at Old Glory Park in Weehawken, New Jersey. The lookout is just in front of the intersection of 49th Street and JFK Boulevard. Reference the GPS coordinate in satellite view. I stood facing southeast so that the Empire State Building was directly in my view.
The easiest way to get there is to take a bus via the Lincoln Tunnel from the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan.
By Bus:
- Take NJ Transit 165 bus going toward Westwood
- Get off at Blvd East 47/48th Street
- In 144 feet, the destination will be on your right
