The best NYC Instagram spots (Week 1)

I love helping NYC dreamers discover some of New York’s greatest treasures, including the best spots to take pictures! I LOVE taking pictures in the city I love so much and I figured I would start sharing all my favorite Instagram spots so you can capture some of these amazing views and iconic places!

All photos in these series will be taken with my iphone 5S and I will share the exact location and directions so you can check it out too!

Be sure to follow us on Instagram AND if you check out any or our recommended spots, make sure you use the #newyorkcityinspired in so we can see NYC through your eyes!

This week, the spot I’m sharing with you is the Canal Street Pier aka Pier 34 located in lower Manhattan. You get amazing views of the lower Manhattan skyline and the Freedom Tower.
