Last one is Philadelphia from Reedy point Bridge, about 10 miles south of Del Memorial Bridge and about 35 miles from Philly. I don't think many people who cross the bridge notice the skyline; it's very small in person and hard to see even on a clear day.
FYI you can make a link to a specific point in Google Maps by right-clicking on the spot, centering the map, and clicking the link button on the top left. And it has a distance measurement tool too.
Anyway someone can put in the fire island lighthouse on google earth, and show the view of the NYC skyline even higher up to see if you can see the entire skyline then screenshot the view? You can see the ESB and even what appears to be the Chrysler building among a few others pretty clearly, but only the tops of them. This leads me to believe that if you elevated another few hundred feet or so, you could see most of the NYC skyline especially after the sun sets behind it. Would love to see that.
Buildings LOL. views from buildings wtf. In the foothills over Denver your tallest buildings look like crab grass growing thousands feet below. Try checking out the views from lookout MT. over Denver than get back to us. On clear days
from the higher residential areas in the foothills you not only see the skyline you can practically see Kansas.

No, you cannot see it from High Point. I have never spotted it from the tower, but interestingly, in Google Earth, if you do position the camera at 220 feet above the summit (the height of the tower) you can spot the model of the twin towers I placed in the program barely rising over Hamburg Mountain in Vernon, NJ. However, this is probably unlikely in real life due to trees on the mountain. I will have to investigate this summer when the tower opens with my binoculars since the new Trade Center is taller. Also, some residents of the Highland Lakes section of my town Vernon, NJ claim there are places where NYC is visible there. I've never found any.
Yes you can, I've seen it from there! It's 53 miles
