Most photography enthusiasts travelling to New York City (NYC) would face a challenge - the challenge of plenty. It is the largest city in the US in terms of population. Spread over 784 SQ km, New York City has five boroughs - Manhattan, Staten Island, Queens, Bronx, and Brooklyn. NY.com lists 89 museums, of which 32 are in Manhattan (see the complete list HERE). There’s Brooklyn Bridge, Central Park, the Statue of Liberty (a UNESCO site), Grand Central, Times Square, and a whole lot more! And then, there is the famed Manhattan skyline that may be viewed from a few unique vantage points, e.g. Empire State Building observation decks, Brooklyn (both, from the Bridge and from across the bridge), Top of the Rock, etc. What to shoot in NYC, Cool places in NYC for photography, NYC Best Photo Spots, Cool Photo spots of NYC - First-Timer's Photography Guide New York.
