1. L’Appartment Sezane

L’Appartment Sezane is a Parisian dream in the heart of Soho in New York City. L’Apppartment Sezane is a French clothing boutique and is also one of the favorite places of all bloggers and photographers.

But what makes this place Insta-famous is the outside setting. The outside is a Floral Heaven: the beautiful flower arch at the entrance, vintage bicycle, and the cute bench to sit on while taking the pictures.  At the entrance, you will find another Instagrammable spot—tiled floor with the sign “Bonjour New York” on it.

If you feel tired of shopping and want to have a break, they also have a cute lounge area for tea and biscuit.

2. Pietro Nolita

Pietro Nolita is one of the most Instagrammable places in NYC ever. It is an Italian restaurant with a pink décor inside and outside. Everything here is pink: the walls are pink, the chairs are pink, the napkins are pink, and even the bathroom is pink.

This place is a millennial dream place to take tons of selfies and pictures. If you are not hungry for food, you can always take the picture outside of the restaurant. What makes this place unique is its pink color.

It is very rare to see a bright pink-colored spot with a bunch of hearts on the doors in New York City because the city has a lot of brick, brownstones, and grey buildings. This place attracts many people, tourists, and bloggers.

There are lines of girls waiting outside of this restaurant to take photos. For the best chance of getting great pictures, you might want to go there early morning on the weekday. 

3. Washington Square Park

Washington Square Park is the most recognizable Instagram spot in all New York City. The predominant feature of the park is the Washington Arch.  The arch was modeled after the Arc de Triomphe in Paris and was the decoration for a celebration of George Washington’s inauguration.

Today you can see locals, NYU students, tourists, performers, buskers, and musicians. This is the place where you can find the best free musical performances. An annual pillow fight is also happening in Washington Square Park. Not surprising why people love taking pictures here. 

4. Brooklyn Bridge

Brooklyn Bridge is a New York iconic landmark, hence the most Instagrammable place in NYC. Everyone who is visiting New York must-see and takes a picture of it.

The best spot to take a photo is on the Brooklyn side. It’s better to take a train to the High Street- Brooklyn Bridge station. There is the Brooklyn Bridge Pedestrian Walkway.

Find the entrance wouldn’t be a big problem. Once you are on the walkway, you will see a spectacular skyline view. This is the best spot to capture beautiful pictures.

5. DUMBO 

DUMBO stands for Down Under Manhattan Bridge Overpass. It is another iconic Instagrammable place in New York City. Most photographers, bloggers, locals, and tourists love coming here to take beautiful pictures.

The best spot to take pictures is on Water and Washington Street. It gives a perfect view of Washington Bridge with Manhattan in the background. 

6.  Subway 

New York subway has always been the place for creativity. For many photographers, the New York Subway is one of the main places to capture incredible shots of commuters.

Such pictures are also called underground photography. What if you want to take a picture of yourself in the empty train?  It would be a very unique shoot just because the trains in New York City are never empty.

Tess Christine, (@tesschristinexo), shared her tip on how to make the best subway picture.

To get the best shot in an empty train, go to the New York Transit Museum.

– she says.  In the museum, you will learn the history of the New York Subway and have a chance to take the picture in any vintage train. There are not so many people going in and out in the museum, so you will have the whole train to yourself to take a photo shoot.

7. Flatiron

It seems like every tourist who comes to New York goes to Flatiron to take a picture. What makes the Flatiron building unique and iconic is its triangle shape.  The best place to take photos is at the tip of the triangle road divide where 24th street merges to Broadway.  

This spot allows capturing the frontal facade of the building.

If you are having a photo shoot, it is better to wear urban clothing that will look awesome with the Flatiron and yellow cabs in the background.

8. Central Park

New York is not New York without Central Park.  There are limitless options for photoshoots here. But the best four locations in Central Park for the photoshoot are: 

  • Bow Bridge. It is the spot that overlooks the rowboats, the bridge, and the San Remo building
  • Wollman Rink. It is the most recognizable ice-skating rink in the world. It is the symbol of New York winter magic. Wollman rink was featured in movies such as Serendipity, Love Story, and Home Alone 2. It provides stunning views of New York skyscrapers.
  • Bethesda Fountain and Terrace. Bethesda Fountain is one of the most well-known fountains in the world, and the largest fountain in New York City. Bethesda Terrace is considered the heart of Central Park. The carvings represent the four seasons, and the side of the mall is the time of the day. 
  •  Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir. The Reservoir is one of the most beautiful things in the park. It has a running and biking path and offers a great view of Central Park and skyline.

9. Albertine Bookstore

Another the most Instagrammable place in new york is the Albertine, a French bookstore.  It is located inside of the French Embassy on the Upper East Side. This place has a real Parisian ambiance, and it’s perfect for taking incredible pictures.

The books are expensive, and it is very tempting to open your wallet.

10. Top Of The Rock

Top Of The Rock is the top tourist destination in New York City. An observation deck sits on the top of the 70-floor building and offers a great view of the city. The ticket costs $32 and the best time to take pictures is an hour before sunset. T

he only downside of this trip is the waiting line at the entrance. The approximate wait time is up to one hour.

The alternative way to make beautiful shoots without waiting in line is going to the SpyGlass Rooftop Bar or The Crown at 50 Bowery.
