"Containing over 20,000 prints ranging from the early days of photography all the way up to today, the International Center of Photography Museum is likely to make anyone stop and rethink their many albums of food photos. Explore the origins of the photo, and see how technology has changed the way we take and share photos over the last century and beyond. And not a hashtag in sight, we hope."

"Despite only moving here in 2017 it’ll be off again soon, moving to the Essex Crossing development. It’s a popular museum which showcases works from all genres of photography. The reason for the constant moving is the never-ending growth of valuable pieces to display."

"Prospect Park From the cafe, we walked for about 15 minutes to the Borough Hall subway station and took the 4 Train for four stops to Grand Army Plaza 2/3. Exiting the station, we walked for a few minutes to the Grand Army Plaza, which is home to the majestic Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Arch. This memorial commemorates the Union Army who fought to keep the collective states united during the American Civil War. We took some great drone shots of this iconic arch."

"Our next monumental and historic building and thing to do in Brooklyn is Brooklyn Borough Hall, the oldest public building in the borough. This beautiful Greek revival building was the original City Hall and a National Registered Historic Place. Brooklyn was its own city until 1898 after Brooklyn was incorporated as a part of New York City the City Hall changed its name to Brooklyn Borough Hall."

"One of the newest things to do in Brooklyn when it comes to parks is Domino Park, located on Williamsburg’s waterfront along the East River near the Williamsburg Bridge. Named after the former Domino Sugar Refinery manufacturer that used to be at this site, this park still has old factory equipment on display. Designed by the same designer who was responsible for the popular High Line in Manhattan, Domino Park has quickly gained popularity despite its youthful age thanks to its location and is easily one of the best Williamsburg photography locations."

"The park's address is 15 River Street, and it can be entered on Kent Avenue at South 5th Street, South 3rd Street, or Grand Street. Domino Park is one of my favorite new NYC parks (it opened in 2018), and it's a must see if you're visiting Williamsburg. The park was built on an abandoned Domino Sugar Factory site, and there are many interesting industrial artifacts scattered throughout it."

"Domino Park is a five-acre oasis on the edge of the always-hip neighborhood of Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Hipsters flock to it on weekends for fish tacos and great views; local families head straight to the playground. Those who love the feel of Williamsburg will love this as a vibrant addition to the scene."

The skyscraper on 8 Spruce Street was architect Frank Gehry‘s first commissioned residential building in New York, his first skyscraper, and, for a while after it opened in 2011, the tallest residential building in the Western Hemisphere at 76 stories and 870 feet.

"Characterized by its other-worldly aesthetic, New York by Gehry is one of the tallest residential buildings in the world, and one of the most striking skyscrapers in the Manhattan skyline. Designed by Frank Gehry, New York by Gehry appears alive with fluid waves of silver. Photograph the building’s façades at different times of day for comparative visual perspectives."
