Here is a read only link to the Aerodrome Database - WhichAerodrome.xlsx. Up to date as of 1/5/2019. Catching up slowly - up to May 2019 now (Mar 2020).
Here are some "rules" for Which Aerodrome. These are based upon the original suggestions from the very first thread, and have a few additions. Also please be patient as when you are active others may be asleep.
 Thanks to Self Loading Bear for suggesting that we use a wiki. Which Aerodrome I Which Aerodrome II nvubu.

sabredog.
The plane is a Loening Air Yacht, NC 7772, pictured in 1929.
I go by the book, ISBN 0-8212-0474-2, page 134.
This was before Keystone bought Loening.
It is not at 23rd Street. Try farther north.

sabredog is correct and has control.
The picture was at the Loening Aeronautical Engineering Corporation factory at 31st St and the East River. That area has been swallowed by the New York Univ. School of Medicine. Leroy Grumman was Loening's general manager when the picture was taken. Jake Swirbul was plant manager.
When Keystone took over, it announced that the Manhattan factory would close. Grumman, Swirbul and others left and formed the Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corp. One of Grumman's early products was the JF Duck, which appeared the 1933. The J2F (below) was a development.

The aircraft is in fact a Grade-Eindekker the Grade B with double undercarriage for stunt flying. It was built by the German Hans grade circa 1910.
Thanks Sabredog for that - whilst searching for the challenge I came across this weird and wonderful aeroplane, which I thought was worth sharing.
