What coast or river-adjacent city is in this photo?
Can anyone identify the city in this picture?
It appears to be along a coast or a body of water.
Best Answer
This is New York City - looking east across the Hudson from New Jersey.
A similar viewpoint is available from google maps
Probably from around Port Imperial Blvd just north of the Lincoln Tunnel.
Your photo seems to be from a position a little further south than this one though - a bit closer to the tunnel - judging by the angles of the piers.

What is a coastal city?
Coastal cities are located on the interface or transition areas between land and sea, including large inland lakes. Usually, coastal cities have access to the sea or larger lakes through ports and/or major rivers.

Answer 2
The city is New York, facing the Borough of Manhattan and the photo was taken at Kennedy Blvd and approximately 53rd Street in West New York, New Jersey. I lived there for nearly a decade and would spot it in a moment. Screen cap from Google street view...

That is the City of New York and the island/borough of Manhattan. It's a picture of the West Side, Hell's Kitchen, taken from Union City, New Jersey.
The pier on the right is the Intrepid. The other piers are the cruise terminal.
And the pier all the way to the left is for garbage transfer.
