On this New York Photography Walking Tour you can photograph some of central Manhattan's brightest, most classic nighttime spots. Think "Bright Lights, Big City".

Meet at Bryant Park, a very photogenic spot with people relaxing on the lawns surrounding it. Take in commanding views of the Chrysler Building, which can be seen along 42nd Street.

From there walk to nearby Times Square, an international icon of New York City known for its sophisticated electronic billboard imagery. It is the unmistakable heart of New York and you will come away with images showing the diversity and energy of the Big Apple. Walking up Broadway through Times Square you will know you are in the entertainment capital of the world when you see the lit marquees showcasing top musicals, movies, television shows and current events.

Cut over to Sixth Avenue and see the instantly recognizable lights of Radio City Music Hall, part of Rockefeller Center, which is a pedestrian-friendly suite of buildings constructed throughout the 1930s. Take in the Art Deco style architecture, see famous sculptures and maybe some holiday decorations.

Continue to Fifth Avenue, the central spine of Manhattan and immediately you'll see the neo-gothic spires of St. Patrick's Cathedral. Fifth Avenue is known for its world-class stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue, Bergdorf Goodman, Louis Vuitton, as well as the 24-hour Apple store. All of these stores have impressive window displays, which pop out at night as you walk on by.

Dart around pedestrians coming from all directions on the way to the Plaza Hotel, located on Central Park South. Grand Army Plaza, from which the hotel gets its name, is a classic intersection of New York, Fifth Avenue and 59th Street. There are all sorts of vendors and caricature artists that make for great photos. But the area's real draw is the horses and their carriages waiting to take passengers on a scenic ride through the park.
