Now that you’ve all learned about the most Instagrammable restaurants in NYC and the most Instagrammable foods in New York, I thought it was time to turn the attention to some of the city’s most iconic spots. Whether you want the coveted Manhattan Bridge photo because you’re a Gossip Girl fanatic (but, same) or you’re looking for something slightly less touristy, I decided to put together a list of some of the most picturesque spots in my favorite city in the world so that the next time you head out you can be sure to get some high quality content for the ‘gram. Here are 21 of the most Instagrammable spots in New York City where you’ll get a great photo, guaranteed.

3. 28th street subway stop

downtown subway stop of 28th and lexington avenue on the 6 line

Riding the MTA would be waaay less stressful if all of the stations looked like THIS 🌸 This is the new downtown side of the 6 train at the 28th street stop that was recently renovated and it’s gorgeous! I also love the art from the recently added 72nd street stop of the Q line and I love the hats at the 23rd street RW station. – What’s your favorite subway station? Are there any particularly cool ones I should check out? Comment them down below! 📸 @norepeatsorhesitations

What the L?? I’ve lived in NYC for 5 years and this is somehow my first-ever subway shot! 🚇 After trying to shoot this morning in 15 degree weather, snapping some pics below ground was a welcome change 😂 – Which do you take more: the subway, cabs, or Lyft/Uber? I am a subway girl alllll the way but will take Lyft line occasionally when I’m feeling lazy 🙃 📸 @francescapauline

Feeling sparkly and new after a few days off from posting 🌈 Who’s getting excited for New Year’s Eve? To be honest it’s not my favorite holiday and I’ve probably “gone out” to celebrate it three times in my whole life but any excuse to get dressed up, right? 😂 I can’t wait to wear this insane top from @asos on the 31st! – Do you get dressed up for New Year’s or prefer to keep it comfy and casual? I’ll be sharing a more laid-back but still festive NYE outfit idea on the feed tomorrow! 📸 @roxyturtle

I don’t drink tea, I just spill it 🍵 – No seriously, I went to tea at The Plaza and ordered coffee 😂 That teapot in the photo is my mom’s. I’ve wanted to check this off of my NYC bucket list for years and I’m so excited I finally got to go while my parents were visiting last week. It’s an experience to say the least and I felt like I was living in a Gossip Girl episode (even though the only time you see The Plaza in the show is in season 1, episode 4 when S & B steal Eleanor’s matching dresses and have an impromptu photo shoot but anyway that’s beside the point and okay this is a very long parenthetical so s/o to you if you read all the way to the end lol.)

It’s @emilywweiss’s world and we’re just living in it 💕 – I know I talk about @glossier a lot but I’m so grateful to the brand for making me feel like skincare was something I could understand and participate in when before it felt inaccessible and like a foreign concept. It’s now something I’m really passionate about and I love trying new products and learning more about them, and I especially love sharing that info with all of you! Also, my new Glossier Flagship store tour is now live on my YouTube channel. – What’s your favorite skincare brand? Tell me in the comments!👇🏻

NYC is one of those places that is so go-go-go all the time that sometimes you forget to stop. This week definitely caught up with me yesterday and I spent all day just laying low. 😴 – It was a bummer to cancel my plans and I definitely felt some FOMO but I slept 11 hours last night and I’m definitely grateful for the break. And I encourage anyone who hasn’t given themselves one in a while to take one 💕 📸 @jalch11

Have you ever shopped a sample sale? I hit up the @reformation one a few weeks ago and came away with two dresses, including this one. Sample sales are notorious for being crazy because they often offer great deals, but there’s a way to prepare for them to make the whole thing less stressful. 😇Today’s blog post has all of my best tips for sample sale shopping so you can avoid things like losing your debit card and crying, both of which happened to me. 😅 Link in bio. – To shop this post download the @liketoknow.it app and follow me, or type this link in your browser: liketk.it/2wP04 📸 @sarahratnerphoto

Why am I so excited in this photo? Because not only did I knock off 3 NYC bucket list items in one day (Coney Island, the Coney Island Brewery AND the Mermaid Parade) but also I finally found a use for this holographic fanny pack that I bought on impulse from Amazon fashion last September. So yeah, today was excellent. 🎡 📸 @nikkiknown
