NEW YORK (PIX11)—There are over 1,000 parks in New York City, but only 10 have been named the most Instagram-friendly parks, according to a study by the Westgate Hotel.
“Fall in Midtown East is a magical time, as the parks come alive with vibrant hues of red, orange, and gold,” said a Westgate New York Grand Central Hotel spokesperson . “Central Park and Bryant Park, just steps away, transform into autumnal havens, offering stunning landscapes perfect for a leisurely stroll or a cozy afternoon with a warm drink in hand.”
Over 70 major parks throughout the city were considered. The ranking is based on the number of posts each park has been tagged using a range of hashtags featuring the park’s name.
Out of the vast array of parks in NYC, only a select few have reached the top.
