Not to be confused with the Manhattan Bridge, at the intersection of Washington Street and Water Street is one of the most photogenic places in New York City. DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass), a neighborhood known for its cobblestone streets, got its nickname from its location under the Manhattan Bridge. Looking down on the bridge from the intersection, you can easily see the Empire State Building under its arches. The poster of the movie “Once Upon a Time in America”

Times Square

Nicknamed the “Crossroads of the World”, is an intersection in the heart of Manhattan leading to Broadway, and is considered one of the busiest pedestrian intersections in the world, as well as a major center of the entertainment industry.

Top of The Rock and Empire State Building

Sure, you can go to the top of the Empire State Building to get a panoramic photo of Manhattan, but your photo will be missing one key thing: the Empire State Building itself.

The Top of the Rock offers a much better view, as you’ll have a great view of Central Park in one direction and Lower Manhattan (including the Empire State Building) in the other.

High Line

The views of the Hudson River and the rooftop bar are well worth a visit. It’s built next to the High Line, an old abandoned railroad that has been transformed into a must-see park.

Central Park

Beautiful in any season, Central Park is a great choice of place to take pictures. Plus, if you’re looking for a recommendation of the best place in the park to do it, we suggest doing it near the lake.

Flatiron

Built in 1902, this charming building is located between 5th Avenue and Broadway. The neighborhood has become very popular. The pedestrian walkways in front of the building and the nearby Madison Square Park are ideal backdrops for photos.

The Statue of Liberty

You can’t leave NYC without taking a picture of the Statue of Liberty, can you? A great option for incredible photos is to take the boat ride, especially in the late afternoon, to take advantage of the natural lighting.

Sculptures: Love and Hope

In New York, there are two sculptures that are very contested, but depending on the time, you can photograph quietly. They are very close to each other:

  • Love Sculpture is at the corner of Sixth Avenue and 55th Street
  • Hope Sculpture is at the corner of Seventh Avenue and 53rd Street
