Narrative:
Shortly after takeoff from lga runway 04 and at 1;500 feet in a turn to 360 degrees; I noticed a rectangular object; believed to be a drone about the size of a lunchbox; pass within the distance of our wingtip; at our altitude; on the right hand side of our aircraft. It appeared to be traveling horizontally. A collision was not detected from the cockpit nor was there evidence of one following a post flight inspection by the captain. I reported the sighting to lga tower and departure. The sighting lasted about one second. No change to our flight path was initiated. The captain was flying and did not notice our encounter. The current ATIS made note of unauthorized drone activity in the vicinity of the airport.
