The Oculus

Inside the World Trade Transportation Hub lies The Oculus, an impressive cathedral-like structure that exterior design resembles a massive winged dove. However, inside is where the best Instagram shots are taken as the incredible symmetrical white steel pillars creates an angelic, clean and peaceful scene. Splendid!

Audrey Hepburn Mural

Star of New York City’s favourite film, Breakfast at Tiffany’s (obvs!), Audrey Hepburn’s colourful mural, created by artist Tristan Eaton, lies in the heart of the Little Italy neighbourhood. Snap it on its own with the gorgeous red brick backdrop or set up a coffee break scene on the chairs in front. Just like the movies!

Central Park

The most infamous park in the world is saturated with spots perfect for making your Instagram hotter than the NY Subway during a heatwave. Our tip is head over to the Bethesda Fountain as this includes amazing arches, a terrace, as well as the fountain itself.

Flatiron Building

This iconic triangular twenty-one storey building was built in 1902 at the foot of Madison Square Park. Its name was given due to its similarity to the household appliance, the flat iron. The best chance of a great photo is getting both sides of the building's architecture in the shot. Head into Flatiron Plaza or the other side of the road to get the fifth avenue clock in the shot too.

Brooklyn Bridge

The pedestrian walkway across the bridge gives views over lower Manhattan up to Midtown, with all the noteworthy buildings visible from the One World Trade Centre. Chrysler Building, and the Empire State Building. However, this bridge does get very busy with lots of tourists visiting throughout the day so our suggestion is to get here at sunrise where you’ll have the bridge all to yourself as well as the sun making everything beautifully golden.
