It looks like 7/10/13 is written backwards on the right border.

Infrogmation and falconn67: Thanks for the comments about the date and location of this photo. It does look like Washington Square Arch, New York City. We will add the information to the description and update the database.

STOP BLACK ON ASIAN VIOLENCE said:
the fifth avenue bus company began assigning route numbers to buses instead of descriptions in 1916. so if this was 1916, the bus to the left would be called the #5, and the bus to the right would be the #2 today's buses use similar route numbers, the M5, and the M2.

The woman on the left is perhaps Mrs. William Halsted Vander Poel, the former Gretchen Billings, daughter of CKG Billings (chairman of Union Carbide). CKG Billings and Frederick Johnson (apparently the husbands of the other two women) together bought some English thoroughbred horses to raise for raising in 1915.

C. K. G. Billings and Fred Johnson were partners in the ownership of race horses, including "Omar Khayyam," winner of the 1917 Kentucky Derby. This photo appears to have been taken at the stepped observation boxes of the Piping Rock Country Club, in Locust Valley, Long Island, on July 10, 1913. Here is the same scene, same day, shifted to the right:
