Morning View – York Avenue

Here’s the Upper East Side’s York Avenue at 63rd Street, as seen from one of the many student housing buildings for the area’s numerous teaching hospitals. Rockefeller University is just next door, from whom we got the AIDS cocktail, methadone, and the discovery that viruses can cause cancer. York Avenue is the easternmost north-south street in this section of the UES, just to the right of this shot is the madness of the FDR Highway and the East River.
