Cypress I think. Have seen them in DC but NYC seems too far North.

I think this is Metasequoia glyptostroboides, dawn redwood, rather than Taxodium distichum, bald cypress. On dawn redwood you will see needles that have rounded tips and opposite arrangement, while bald cypress needles are arranged alternately and have pointed tips. Bald cypress branchlets have a more tapered look than I am seeing in this photo. Dawn redwood branches have a depression underneath (like an armpit) that you don’t see on bald cypresses.

Down redwood. They’re very tolerant of air pollution so cities have started planting them a lot.

Pretty sure that’s a cypress as the dawn redwood has branches all the way down

The tree is likely a Brazilian Rosewood, also known as Caesalpinia pluviosa or Peltophorum dubium (Wild Tamarind).
