New York has one of the most photographable skylines I've ever seen. If the New York skyline was a dog, it would be a golden retriever. That's what I consider to be the most photographable dog (I'm lying. It's really a pug but I don't think that's relatable enough to share). This skyline holds up with all the others. What gives it such a unique quality is the kinetic energy it has. You feel like you're diving into New York.
When you're diving into New York like this do you consider which neighborhood you're going to land in. Does the Bronx have better delis but not great landing areas? Is Manhattan too expensive to drop into? Time Square would just be a nightmare with all the foot traffic, but at least it's well lit and you'd have an audience.
