Most the older buildings on the left side (west) of the picture are still there but I believe most of the ones on the east side (right) are gone and replaced now.

I have the GTA IV map of Liberty City so burned into my brain that I’m occasionally shocked at the size of NYC when I see pictures/maps.

On a related note, New York City has old aerial maps (older than what Google Earth gives you): http://maps.nyc.gov/doitt/nycitymap/

Select Map Type and you can pick from ‘24 or ‘51 (plus some newer ones).
