According to witnesses, the unidentified mother had already gone into labor by the time she left her apartment on East 68th Street.
Her doorman walked her up to Third Avenue to catch a cab, but the baby just couldn't wait.
'She was like, "Oh my god, the baby's coming,"' one female witness said, 'And then I could see the baby's head coming out.'
That witness said it was only a matter of seconds after the baby crowned that the little girl was born.
Just seconds: But once she got to the corner, the baby's head was already crowning and witnesses say it was only a matter of seconds before the woman gave birth
Baby's first blanket: Several women offered the baby their scarves since it was a chilly day in the mid-30s
Doing fine: Mom and daughter were taken to Lenox Hill Hospital where they were recovering fine
Several female bystanders rushed to offer their scarves to wrap the baby, since temperatures were in the chilly mid-30s.
'I happened to be crossing the street and the baby came out...all I could do is cover her up with my scarf,' another witness said. 'Amazing - A miracle on 3rd Avenue.'
The woman, her husband and their newborn child were taken to Lenox Hill Hospital where both were reportedly recovering fine.
This was the couple's third child together.
