Looks a lot like a Camellia, but I doubt it is, somehow.

Looks like an Ornamental Flowering Cherry Tree to me.

I guess I should mention I shot it in NYC today, near the Queens/Long Island border.

It's certainly a type of cherry tree - there are many types. It has many petals per blossom (up to 100, perhaps). In Japan, I think this one is called botanzakura, which means peony cherry. Evidently, it was grafted from two different trees, hence the pink and white mixed petals.
