Broadway and 47th. New York City.(Times Square.) I've never been there, in NY, but you can read the phrase in Spanish "Dos Caminos" on the sign of lights. What makes me think it's not NY. Edit: I retract. There is indeed a restaurant called that.

Edit: I retract. There is indeed a restaurant called that. Yup, the "Dos Caminos" sign was the best hint. Then google search and google street view are your friends: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fimage.ibb.co%2Fd1FstK%2FCaptura_de_pantalla_2018_08_19_a_las_4_32_26.png&t=665&c=6oV-YRRPOErMmg) This is the closest I could get to the angle of the original photo (it was took a few meters behind and from a lower position though) and what leads me to believe nearest intersection is 48th and not 47th. The "wall" is probably the Broadway street sign (or a hotdog cart) P.S.: WHat took more time is that there are several Dos Caminos in NY but, again, google street view is your friend here.

Another clue was in the initial picture, there was the hint of a red glow reflecting off of it. In the 2nd clue, there is a hint of green reflecting off the street. So I knew that it was a place with a lot of bright lights. Last night I was hunting on google maps in Times Square and I was also searching downtown Las Vegas.

If it had been taken from Las Vegas I would probably had immediately recognised it, so I quickly discarded that option. There was more hints that could have led somewhere had someone knew manhattan well enough (not me) such as the sewer lids, the curbs, road signals, etc.... but for me did nothing and it could be anywhere in the world.... I really needed the Dos Caminos hint. Nice and entertainment challenge ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Congrats Bitserve! and honorable mentions to Bones and Xyzzy who were so damn close and Gab0 who first spotted the exact photo location Fucking Amazing Sleuthing guys. I am really impressed. Never expected anyone to get the exact location of the newspaper stand where the shot was taken. And when I posted the very first picture and people were saying New York, I was baffled as to how you could possibly figure that out from the photo. There is actually a sign saying West 47th Street in the background between the red and blue shirted men but I think too blurry to read with the image compression. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.ibb.co%2Ff4ri0z%2FBE7_F0_E14_F4_C3_4_C52_A3_AF_B7_C4_BD6_DEC92.jpg&t=665&c=O34DkWi7uHpVlw) Spirall and Mic you both instantly guessed NY from the very first picture. How did you manage to do that?
