This live camera looks out over the New York City skyline and the East River, the strait that separates Manhattan from Brooklyn. It is a useful window for checking how the city looks right now, including the light on the towers and the state of the river.
About the place
New York sits where the Hudson River meets the Atlantic Ocean, and the East River is a tidal strait rather than a true river. Manhattan's dense towers rise along its banks, while Brooklyn's waterfront lies across the water. The city is known for its skyline, bridges, museums and neighbourhoods, and the waterfront shows much of that character at a glance.
What you can watch
The view is most rewarding around sunrise and sunset, when the towers catch warm light, and after dark when building lights reflect on the water. Weather changes the scene a great deal, from clear winter air to summer haze or rain. Depending on the angle, you may see river traffic such as ferries, tugs and boats passing between the banks.
Practical notes
New York has a humid continental climate with hot, humid summers and cold winters, and spring and autumn are usually the most comfortable seasons to visit. The city is easy to explore by subway, ferry and on foot. Nearby cameras on this site include the Grace Church view, the St George's Tower view and a Brooklyn camera, which help you compare different parts of the area.
