also being a ny'er i'd say from the perspective...only several bldg's would be high enough for that shot(chrysler and citibank buidings come to mind), but most likely it's an aerial shot..as night flights from copters can be chartered..those colors were on the building a few months ago if memory serves correctly..
I saw a peanut stand, heard a rubber band,
I saw a needle that winked its eye.
But I think I will have seen everything
When I see an elephant fly.
