This pic looks like was taken at a nice apartment complex in lower Manhattan. can't recall the name

I mean, that feels like a shot in the dark. Like it's entirely possible that it's that NYC building but based on the available info, it could also be a large number of buildings in Europe, and I'm sure elsewhere. What was the tipoff, just the red brick? Because that is extremely common in my country.

LOL. It was just a feeling at first, but I did a search.

I recalled the name of the appartment complex. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuyvesant_Town%E2%80%93Peter_Cooper_Village

There is a https://www.caffepanna.com/ nearby with the same cup design.

So, possible. I can't think of any other places in lower Manhattan that look that way.
