15 photos that prove New York is the most Instagrammable city on the planet

NEW YORK’S INCREDIBLE DIVERSITY is the reason it’s so beautiful — armed with a relatively cheap smartphone you can snap pictures of a staggeringly huge array of sights: maybe pics of some of the world’s most iconic buildings and monuments, maybe an intimate glimpse into a total stranger’s life, or maybe a filtered snap of the city’s spectacular biannual Manhattanhenge — all are possible in New York. Here’s some further evidence that it’s the most Instagrammable city on the planet.

Life is in the details! Take it easy and enjoy them. The lines and structure and beautiful brick work. I hope we never completely lose buildings like this. — #eastharlem #nycprimeshot #icapture_nyc #bigappled #nysource #ispyny #nyc_highlights #made_in_ny #colorme_nyc #icnewyorkcity #ig_nycity #bestofnewyork #igersofnyc #gf_nyc #unique_ny #dope_nyc_shots #nybynewyorkers #nycstreetshots #jj_daily #instagram_nyc #instagramnyc #instanyc #newyorkcity #nyc #nyny #nycpics #newyork_instagram #imagesofNYC
