This place is filthy, full of unpleasant people, it smells bad, also there's a lot of traffic (underneath), and it's very dangerous. Pigeons are all over the place and you can get attacked by them if you go too early in the AM. The water...Read More

An incredible park for engagement photos, recently did an engagement session here and constantly kept saying “I can’t believe this is in New York” it feels like you’re entering another place. My clients loved how their photos came out and the park!

This is a gem of a park, large enough not to feel crowded but small enough to feel neighborly and intimate. Depending on the season, the greenery is lush, wonderfully complemented by the hardscape. You can also view the East River on the esplanade just...Read More

It was nice. It was extremely hot out especially for this time of year with the dew point being oppressive and temps soaring. The fountain was on and the birds were taking a bath. It was a nice spot to sit and watch. NYC photos!
