The San Remo NY 10023

I honestly love this spot. After 10+ years of shooting proposals in NYC, this is one of those places I keep coming back to and recommending to couples. You get a really nice mix of greenery and the city in the background, so it feels very “New York” Just one important moment - the light here is best after solar noon, closer to sunset, when the sun is lower.

Architect, Emery Roth, took advantage of new zoning regulations to build the first of New York's twin towered apartment blocks. Each of San Remo's ten-story towers is topped with an English Baroque mansion in the manner of John Vanbrugh and capped with a homage to the Choragic Monument of Lysicrates. The Athenian monument was known to Roth from the reproduction that had featured in the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, 1893.
