INSIDE THE SHOPS
Vibe: Up, Up and Away
The spot: The Great Room, Level 1
There are no bad angles in the great room, but maybe the best is from below looking toward the hot-air balloons, flying Christmas trees and lights hanging above.
Vibe: Mid-flight
The spot: Overlooking the balconies on Levels 3 and 4 (look for the selfie stand and “Sparkle Spot” on the floor)
Put your phone on the stand, set the timer and strike a pose, with the hot-air balloon, strings of lights and garlands as your background. It’s especially beautiful at night.
Vibe: Aglow
The spot: North side of The Shops on Levels 3 and 4
Next to a festive tree and with dazzling lights all around, this is a photogenic stop, day or night.
Vibe: Winter Wonderland
The spot: Just inside the entrance on 10th Avenue and 33rd Street
The choice if you want everyone to know you were at the coolest place in New York City. Pick an angle that frames the hot air balloon, trees and the Hudson Yards logo.
ON THE PUBLIC SQUARE & GARDENS
Vibe: Forest Chic
The spot: The Bosque
Choose between the platform with the hot-air balloon, trees and Hudson Yards logo behind you or the forest of lit-up trees in front of The Shed. Better yet, don’t choose and take a shot of both.
Vibe: The High Life
The spot: Skyline Steps
Take a seat in front of a garland of holiday ornaments and aim the camera towards midtown, to capture an illuminated Manhattan.
Vibe: Shimmering Skies
The spot: 100th Floor
Shine Bright’s brilliant decorations reach all the way up to Edge, and the observation deck’s inside room. After a speedy elevator ride, choose from a bevy of luminous backdrops, at altitude.
