As usual, it's in one of the five boroughs. Anyone can play--leave your guesses in the comments section and (if you're new to this) make sure you identify yourself with a distinct handle so you can be distinguished from everyone else.

Chinatown?
Creative guess--but no.
Thanks for kicking this off!
Financial District?
Yes, Myra.
The former U.S. Customs House, now the Museum of Native Americans?
Dolph! Hey there!!
Another creative guess. It isn't where I was, but it is a fascinating building.
The post office at 90 Church Street?
No, but you're warm, Debbie!
IS it on Church Street?
No, Debbie, it isn't.
40 Wall Street?
90 Church Street is the warmest guess so far, Debbie.
Okay, I'll shake things up a bit... is it on Broadway?
Shake it, baby! You're cooler! Shake it some more!
North of Vesey?
Vesey? Yesey! In a manner of speaking....
DMV building at 155 Worth?
Cooler again. Moving toward those big bridges is pretty worthless in this go-round.
FISHER, were you terrorizing domesticated felines in Hopewell, New Jersey?
Not this time, AC.
Not that it looks like it but... the AT&T building at 32 Sixth Ave?
Colder still in most respects, but there's also something of a connection.
Well, I am happy to say that I happened to accidentally stumble upon this building tonight...drum roll please...you were between Vesey and Barclay, and Washington and West streets. I don't know the name or number of the building, but that's WYW! Done.
Brava, Debita! I was outside the grand Barclay-Vesey Building, also known as the old New York Telephone Building. which occupies a "little" block immediately north of where the World Trade Center once stood. Often classified by Art Deco but in some respects a hybrid of styles, the building was somewhat damaged in the 9/11 attack and then repaired. Today the south walkway is somewhat shrouded by Ground Zero construction work, but the replacement footbridge across West Street allows one to get a good view of the detail work in the first and second pictures.
