I was down near the area 
today. Couldn't get my hands on an actual leaf --there's a substantial five and a half foot iron fence on top of a taller granite wall around the yard. Climbing fences in that area of town can get you shot or a dog sicced on you. But there were a few leaves stuck to the ground under the limbs that I could see. They looked a lot like hackberry leaves to me. Bark is also knobby and wrinkly and grey too. Managed another picture from a different angle...

Went back to the fence to prove my manhood. Well, let's just say it didn't go well--you may have seen the CNN footage:

I don't really use mine so much. Only when my wife let's me anymore really. She keeps them in her purse.
But when I get to use them the sky's the limit.

Down near the Phone Booth (Verizon Center) today. The OP's tree is leafing out and is definitely a hackberry. Photo is blurry, but the branches have the characteristic "drupes" or berries that hackberries are named for. Not sure exactly what species of hackberry it is, but I'm betting Sugarberry. Celtis Laevigata

That's in front of the portrait gallery on China Town if I'm not mistaken. Not sure what it is but I'm pretty positive it's not a maple or a cherry. The bark and the girth of the trunk don't scream cherry.

I've hiked thru the White Mountains since I could walk and some of the coolest, down to earth folks I ever got to meet were Quebecois....or at least from Quebec!!
Politicians? Too much about them and not enough about the rising tide of poverty.....everywhere.....
