STONE STREET

PIETRO NOLITA

Known as the pink place.  Pietro Nolita is the go-to cafe for the girly girl.  Pink barstools, pink tables, pink lights…this place is super cute and I hear their food is also delicious.  It’s a very small so try to book your spot early.   174 Elizabeth Street, 10012

 THE WHITNEY

TIMES SQUARE

Times Square is part of New York City’s DNA.  There will be tons of tourists but all the lights are great for pictures.  Right across from the McDonald’s is the Hello Kitty store (No pictures inside of there).  There is also a wax museums in Time Square.

THE STATEN ISLAND FERRY

Nothing bets free!!!  It’s an hour round trip and fulls up quick.  It’s one of the best ways to see the New York City skyline is from the water. The Staten Island Ferry runs until 11pm. The ferry to Ellis and Liberty Islands (small fee) is also beautiful though it tends to be much more crowded. 4 Whitehall Street, 10004

THE FLATIRON BUILDING

The prime location for this oddly shaped and highly recognizable building — right across the street from Madison Square Park — makes the Flatiron Building an excellent stop for any city explorer.

Get someone with you to hop up onto a chair in the little plaza across the street for a shot sans people or traffic.  Avoid taking your photo early in the morning unless you want the shadows of other buildings cast across the Flatiron’s facade. 175 Fifth Avenue, 10010

THE OCULUS

The Oculus resembles a “bird released from a child’s hands.  It’s a shopping mall/transit hub in the World Trade Center complex.  It’s a true architectural wonders.  Head to the upper level of the mall to capture the futuristic rib-like skylight that makes up the ceiling.

A new addition to downtown Manhattan, this might be the most photogenic mall in America. The all white interior and towering ceiling is a must see.  185 Greenwich Street, 10007

TOP OF THE ROCK

You can go to the top of the Empire State Building to get a amazing shot of Manhattan in all directions.  There are only a few places higher for a panorama view than the Top of The Rock, the Midtown observation deck with views that can’t easily be beat.

You can look to the the south from the 70-story Observation Deck to see all the way down to 1 World Trade and the Statue of Liberty or to the north for the most incredible views of Central Park.  There’s no bad time of day to see this view of NYC from the top of the rock.  The last trip up at 11:15PM guarantees a small crowd. 30 Rockefeller Plaza, 10111

SPRINKLES CUPCAKE ATM

Skip the line at Sprinkles and grab one of their delicious cupcakes from the perfectly pink ATM where you can find most of their flavors, restocked throughout the day.  Have your camera ready to snap a video of the ATM serving your cupcake or hold up your cupcake and use the pink backdrop for a colorful image. 780 Lexington Avenue, 10065
