New York City moves fast and it’s easy to spend your trip running from Times Square to Central Park, checking off landmarks without truly taking it in.
I’m joined by Jessie Festa, founder of NYC Photo Journeys, to share the best photo locations in NYC, including underrated spots most travelers miss.
Jessie combines licensed NYC sightseeing tours with professional photography sessions, creating a 2-in-1 experience that helps you explore the city while capturing high-quality images you’ll actually want to frame.
We cover:
• The best NYC photography spots beyond the typical tourist landmarks
• Underrated neighborhoods and hidden gems you may not know about
• Common mistakes travelers make when DIY-planning a trip to New York City
• Why slowing down completely transforms your NYC experience
Whether you’re visiting New York City for the first time or you think you’ve already “seen it all,” this episode will help you discover hidden gems and take in the best views of New York City.
