This is a raised walkway overPeter Detmold Park beside the East River near 50th Street which takes you over the FDR Highway, a spot I often walk to either before work or walking off my lunch before heading back to work.

Now I was recently talking with @dswigle about how I am slack and not using my lens hood very often, and probably if I had been using the Lens hood I would not have got the lens flare in this shot, and infact I did put it on and take another shot with the lens hood on which did not have the sun flare.
However, in this case, I actually liked the sun flare so kept his shot.
Another thing that can cause lens flare is if your lens is dirty or greasy, one way to clean it is shown by @old-guy-photos in this post

Here is a shot looking back the opposite way on the same walkway, down below the walkway is a little park which is a nice little Oasis from the rush of the city, and also a little dog park that is often quite busy.

And a last shot showing what will be coming soon and what I and many of us here are looking forward to the arrival of Spring and the blossoms on trees, this was taken almost a year ago in fact a year ago next week, so gives me a good feeling I will be seeing the lovely new growth of spring soon.
