The view is not looking east (towards Queens) .The view is looking north (towards the Bronx). The large dark building on the left is the old GE Building (known now as 30 Rock). Beyond is the lake in Central Park. I think you will be able to take a similar photo from that spot (at least you were able to a few years ago, the last time i was there) but there is now a cast iron fence there.
Good luck.
