Gay Street Façade

These federal-style buildings are located in one of the quaintest and most intriguing streets in the West Village — Gay Street. Look for 14-16 Address. By Subway: - Closest station: Christopher Street (1 or 2 Train) - Turn right on Christopher Street - Turn right on Gay Street Address: 14-16 Gay Street, New York, NY 10014

All months are great to photograph this white façade!

As long as there’s sunlight, anytime during the day is great to capture all the details of the black doors and windows.

I suggest standing opposite the buildings and holding your camera straight on to photograph the exterior.

Make sure the vertical and horizontal lines are straight so that the architecture isn’t distorted! A straight-on photo will be more appealing in this type of setting.

This minimalist façade is also great for a portraiture or blogging content — think an #ootd shoot!

There are a ton of delicious eateries worth exploring in the area. These are some of my favorites: - Petite Boucherie (14 Christopher Street) for appetizing French dishes and intimate dining experience - Joe Coffee Company (141 Waverly Place) for flawless coffee and pastries - Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice Cream (152 W 10th Street) is well known for delicious ice cream - Té Company (163 W 10th Street) which serves oolong teas - Oilo e Piu (3 Greenwich Avenue) is a great Italian restaurant

Don’t forget to swing by the Three Lives & Company (154 W 10th St) for a great collection of books!

C.O. Bigelow Chemists (414 6th Ave) is a cool and quirky apothecary selling unique brands and interesting products. Check it out!

Have a stroll in Washington Square Park close by and be entertained by street performers.
