Where in New York thrill-seekers can legitimately take selfies
Lovers of thrills in New York enough. Many of them, breaking the law, fall into the crime reports. So, last weekend the police arrested two young people who tried to take pictures against the background of the city, climbing onto the beam of the Brooklyn Bridge. He writes about it nypost.com.
Forumdaily has compiled a list of places where you can take beautiful pictures against the backdrop of New York on a completely legitimate basis.
1. Department of Public Library (Jefferson Market Courthouse, 425 6th Avenue)
This building is a branch of the New York Public Library. The facility was built back in 1877. The building was used as a court. And since 1961 it began to belong to the library. You can get into the building during open houses in New York. You can also just come here for a tour.
2. Central Park
This place is more suitable for those who like climbing. You will find the highest points in the 110-th street area (Wollman Rink, Rat Rock or a point near Heckscher Ballfields). Beginners urban climbers experts advise to take an assistant.
3. Climbing a tree
New York has enough tall trees. But we warn that climbing a tree without preparation is very dangerous. In addition, it is better to get a special card. Get it help special training courses for those who further plans to engage in the improvement of the city, including the care of trees.
4. Statue of Liberty
Interestingly, until 1916, visitors to the Statue of Liberty could not go up to the torch and the crown. Seeing New York from a bird's-eye view became impossible after the September 11 attacks. However, since 2009, the entrance to the Statue of Liberty has been opened. True, in order to take a picture, you have to pre-book a ticket. Only 240 people per day can visit this landmark.
