"Where Am I" in NYC?

When I was solving some puzzle caches in my hometown, Taipei, Taiwan, I came across this "Where Am I?" series. I borrowed the idea and created this on-going series in New York City to highlight some of the public art works, statues, and significant buildings.

The concept is simple. Identify and locate the item in the photo, then follow the instruction to location the cache.

The artwork in the photo is within 1 mile of the posted coordinate. 

Let's start!
