It may be out of focus... Trying to figure out how to best get the skyline in focus from the distance I am at (about 12 miles as the crow flies)... do not know if it may be to the longer exposure at night, or that it is not in focus at the beginning. (eyesight not the greatest anymore when looking through the viewfinder). It was shot on auto focus, with a remote release.

How about trying to focus manually on the Empire State Building that seems to be the most prominant feature the the shot

I did that later in the night, see my other post "Green Reflections" with a closer zoom on the city and Empire State Building. Appeared in focus as I was shooting multiple shots thru the night but seeing the outcome, still looks soft. Like I said, eyesight thru the viewfinder is not the greatest anymore.

First I would put my Camera on a tripod to make sure its stablized and use a remote trigger if you have one to trip the shutter. If your shooting with a slr. the camera most likely has a diopeter somewhere around the eye piece to correct the view finder to the users vision just look through at the meters and points of focus and turn the diopeter until all apears clear now focus and shoot. My next recomendatiion would be to set your lens on infinity and shoot. exposure will only effect, well exposure not the focus. Hope this helps.

After down loading the picture it apeears to me that it may camera shake and not a focusing issue especially a shot of that kind of distance.
