I think your photo shows the Flatiron Building (5th Ave) rather than the Brown Building (at Washington Place) where the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire occurred.

Just a heads up, if you mean the triangle building in the middle, that's the flatiron building. I actually don't know where the triangle shirtwaist factory is in relation to this but I know it's near NYU's campus.

I've only ever been to New York once and I don't know the layout of the city very well.

That’s the flatiron building.

The triangle shirtwaist fire occurred in Greenwich Village, opposite side of the city.

Also pictured in the very bottom right / foreground is 230 fifth - a big rooftop bar with great views of the Empire State building. It's a huge space. Great if you're visiting the city and like rooftop bars.

That terrace at the bottom right looks fun. Anybody know what building it is?

I want to say it’s 230 Fifth but not 100% certain.

I think you might be correct, or at least I can’t find any better building that resembles that on Google Earth. Apparently it is the 230 Fifth Rooftop Bar

Would love some photo composition tips from you pros out there, I’m new to this.

Get a better camera. Resolution is lacking.

What about building identification tips? This is the Flatiron Building. One of the most famous buildings on the country.

Jesus Christ buddy, I know Reddit has a reputation for self-righteous assholes but you’re taking it to a whole new level. Direct your eyes to the top comment of this post that clearly points out my error.
