Tiny Berries seen at Battery Park in Manhattan, New York in June,2017.
The closest I could get was Amelanchier Species of Rosaceae.
Common names Serviceberry or Juneberry.

Gaylussacia sp. ?? Clear images of leaves would have helped!

Thank you.

They look to be Vaccinium corymbosum aka high bush blueberry.

Carmelita Ji,
Thanks for the id.
Did you consider my suggested id of Serviceberry or Juneberry? Amelanchier?  
Adding a cropped picture showing the trifoliate leaves.
Regards, 
Aarti

Sorry trifoliate leaves written by mistake.
Kindly ignore.

I will assume your suggestion that the leaves are trifoliate was merely an error while doing copy/paste from a previous message so am ignoring that description of the leaves for this plant.

Looking at the list again for Battery Park, they have Amelanchier arborea, Amelanchier x grandiflora 'Cole's Secret' aka Apple Serviceberry, A. canadensis. The three are listed as trees. 

For Juneberry the list  has only one:
Amelanchier lamarckii; it is also listed as a tree.

My suggestion that it may be a Highbush blueberry shows 3 on the list:
Vaccinium corymborsum 'Herbert' aka Highbush blueberry, one as V. corymbosum (no cultivar listed), and Vaccinium corymbosum 'Berkley' aka Highbush blueberry.

Was the plant you photographed at tree or a tallish shrub?

Carmelita Ji,
Thanks again for all the efforts in identifying my post.
Not very sure, but it was probably a small tree.
I will post a similar one seen in New Jersey today.
Regards,
Aarti

Amelanchier does not have trifoliate leaves. Sorry, they just don't.

Carmelita Ji,
I had wriitten trifoliate leaves in a hurry, it was meant for my other post with purple flowers.
Had rectified my mistake in the subsequent post.
Probably you missed it.

Aarti

Garg Ji, Carmelita Ji,
Thanks a lot.
I had suggested Amelanchier in my initial post.
Went through all the links Garg Ji.
Amelanchier arborea looks close.
Regards,
Aarti
