How to get there
N40° 45' 48.2609"W74° 01' 36.2503"
I took this photograph at the dead end of Lincoln Place, a road in Weehawken, New Jersey. I recommend driving or taking an Uber to get there. Parking is scarce, but if you get lucky, you should be able to park on the street and head east to the end of the road. From there you can compose your shot for a rather epic view!
By Car:
- Take the NY-495 W going toward New Jersey
- Continue onto the NJ-495
- Take the exit toward Willow Ave/Weenhawken/Hoboken
- Merge onto Park Ave then continue onto Willow Ave
- Turn right toward Hackensack Ave/Hackensack Plank Rd
- Turn left onto Gregory Ave
- Turn left onto Lincoln Pl
