New York City Upper East Side - a photo on Flickriver

The two tallest buildings visible in the photo (left to right) are the Pierre Hotel and Sherry-Netherland Hotel:

The Pierre Hotel - 2 East 61st Street @ Fifth Avenue, New York
1930, Schultze and Weaver

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pierre

from the Wikipedia article: "The hotel was designed by the New York firm of Schultze and Weaver as a skyscraper that rises in a blond-brick shaft from a limestone-fronted Louis XVI base. Its topmost floors ... are modeled after Mansart's Royal Chapel at Versailles, a system of Corinthian pilasters and arch-headed windows, with octagonal ends, under a tall, slanted, copper roof that is pierced with bronze-finished bull's-eye dormers."

The Sherry-Netherland - 781 Fifth Avenue, New York
1927, Schulze & Weaver and Buchman & Kahn

"The 570-foot-high, 38-story building was the world's tallest apartment hotel when it was opened.

"...Despite its relative modest size, the Sherry Netherlands must be considered one of the world's greatest skyscrapers." - nyc-architecture.com
