The High Line
The repurposing of this closed down railway into an urban park began in 2006, and shortly after became a hot New York destination. The 1.45-mile long elevated green trail on the west side of Manhattan has countless spots for cute pics. Be sure to wear comfy walking shoes!
DUMBO Brooklyn
Down Under The Manhattan Bridge Overpass, aka DUMBO is a major hotspot for fashion photography. The red brick buildings make a great frame, the bridge in the background adds serious dimension to your shot. Be sure to take a look at the Manhattan skyline too while you’re there.
The Flat Iron Building
The unusual shape of this classic piece of NYC architecture is truly eye catching. Just north of the building there is a median where you can stand to capture the perfect angle of the building. Or you can walk along the crosswalk for cute candid shots.
Pietro Nolita
It’s no secret that pink is one of the hottest colors on Instagram these days. Stop by Pietro Nolita for a tasty Italian meal and make sure to get lots of pictures. The restaurant is a pink lover’s paradise, with both the outer facade and the interior being millennial pink from top to bottom.
