It may sound little bit strange but before I arrive to a new city, I always google it’s most famous instagram spots. Honestly, I don’t want to leave any city without taking 1-2 great photos and some spots just give you “the perfect picture” regardless of other factors.
New York City which provides endless opportunities to photography lovers. Here are our 10 Top New York Instagram Spots
1.- WASHINGTON ST, BROOKLYN (DUMBO AREA)
Cityscape of Manhattan Bridge from Brooklyn in New York City.
Washington Street of Dumbo is probably the most favorable spots of the photographers. Nothing screams NYC more than the view of Iconic bridge combined with classical brick buildings of NYC. If the weather is good, you can even get a glimpse of Empire State Building behind the bridge.
2.- BOW BRIDGE, CENTRAL PARK
3.- COOPER HEWITT MUSEUM
4.- THE OCULUS, WORLD TRADE CENTER PATH STATION
5.- BROOKLYN BRIDGE
Your visit to NYC wouldn’t be complete without snapping few shots at Brooklyn Bridge. But as someone who behaved like crazy tourist and took pictures for hours, I can give you some useful tips.
Don’t waste your time with selfie, it wont look good anyways. Either take panoramic views or if you want to be in picture ask someone to take toe to head angled picture of you when walking in the middle of the bridge.
6.- FLATIRON BUILDING
Flatiron Building is another classic photo hotspot in New York. Its unique triangular shape makes it one of the most iconic buildings ever. But it is often packed with tourists and sometimes it is impossible to get a good shot.
To avoid the big crowds and add more depth to the picture , your best bet is to go to Madison Square Park which is located to the east of plaza area and take pictures of the Flatiron Building from there.
7.- ROOFTOP OF THE MET MUSEUM
In New York, every tourist prefer climbing to big buildings like Empire State or Rockefeller Center to spot best views of the city. But instead visiting rooftop garden of the Met Museum is much more convenient because 1- Its free, 2-It combines view of central park and NYC Skyline, 3-You can get cocktails.
8.- STONE STREET
9.- HAMILTON PARK IN WEEHAWKEN
Because many of the NYC Wallpaper pictures are taken from this exact spot. So to take best pictures of Island of Manhattan, you actually have to go to New Jersey
10.- BETHESDA TERRACE, CENTRAL PARK
Bethesda Terrace is located around 72 street and offers one of the best views in central park. It is consisted of upper and lower terrace which is connected by iconic stairs.And most importantly everything is made out of sandstone and granite. From lower terrace you can also spot famous Bethesda Fountain which is occasional guest star of many movies and TV series.
