This night-time image depicts a busy, wet street scene in Midtown East, New York City, United States, likely captured from a street-level perspective looking generally towards the east or southeast. The environment is characterized by dense white steam emanating from multiple points on the street surface, partially obscuring the background and diffusing artificial lights. The asphalt street is wet, reflecting the light sources and city glow. In the immediate foreground, a person is partially visible on the far left, walking towards the right side of the frame, wearing a dark jacket. On the mid-right, a person cycles a black road bicycle from right to left across the street, wearing a dark jacket and a dark cap. Vehicle traffic is present: a yellow New York City taxi minivan, with headlights on, is positioned in the mid-right, traveling right to left. Behind it, a white FedEx delivery truck with visible red "FedEx" branding also moves in the same direction. Other distant vehicle lights are visible through the steam. Street infrastructure includes a white-striped crosswalk in the foreground-left, a square metal grate on the left side of the street, and a circular metal manhole cover in the mid-right. A red traffic signal light is visible on the far left. Building architecture frames the street: On the far left, a multi-story building with a darker, possibly brick or stone, facade is partially visible. On the right, a prominent building features a multi-story, light-colored, classical stone facade at its base, topped by a darker, modern, glass and steel structure with a visible, complex external framework, consistent with **One Vanderbilt**. In the background, through the steam, the illuminated, golden, pyramidal spire of the **Chrysler Building** is distinctly visible, along with other distant city lights and building outlines.
