Top Instagram accounts to follow for all the New York City inspiration
Ah, New York City – the place where everyone instantly becomes an Instagram influencer upon arrival. While it’s hard to get a bad shot of this vibrant city, some Instagrammers do a better job than others at capturing the true essence of NYC.
The best cure for the ol’ New York travel bug is obviously to hop on a plane, but when that’s not a possibility, we’ll settle for scrolling through pics of it on our Instagram feed.
Here are some of our favourite Instagram accounts to follow from New York City.

All of New York City’s most aesthetically pleasing cafĆ©s, restaurants, doorways, alleys, nooks and crannies can be found right here on @prettycitiesnewyork.

@humzadeas
If you’re looking for epic photos of an epic city, look no further than Humza Deas’ account. This adventure junkie is always looking for new vantage points to capture the city that has captured his heart, and there’s a good chance that New York has never looked better than from the eye of his drone.
@humansofnewyork
Also a New York Times #1 bestseller, this account gives you a taste of what makes a New Yorker a New Yorker. The city isĀ truly is a melting pot of every different type of culture, personality, profession, and style in the world. And this account shares daily insights into the struggles and triumphs that make up the pulse of NYC.
@aguynamedpatrick
Patrick is one of our favourite NYC photographers to follow. He’s got style, he’s got flair, and he’s got an eye for capturing the different corners of the city in ways that really make it shine – even in the rain.
@bridget
This busy New York bee is always jet-setting about, but when she comes home to the Big Apple she always posts the most beautiful snaps of her city. Follow her for New York city streets, style, and sass.
@new_fork_city
If there’s one thing we love more than New York City, it may be food. So why should we have to choose? This account is serving up all the best dishes in this city (which, if you know New York, is A LOT) and we’re not not drooling all over our iPhone screen.
Yes, we would like fries with that.

Daniella’s feed is giving us all the feels – something about her editing style really makes this city sparkle (not that it needed any help). Follow her for the dreamiest photos of NYC and her travels.
@samhorine
This photographer has perfected the art of capturing the grit and magic of New York through a camera lens. Sam’s shots showcase NYC through all its best angles (although, in our opinion, all angles are pretty photogenic).
@taza
There are mommy bloggers… and then there are badass mommy bloggers who are raising their 5 young kids in the most action-packed, beautifully hectic city in the world. Taza is Insta proof that you don’t have to slow down when you have a family. Her adorable little ones and colourful feed are enough to put a smile on anyone’s face.
@eatingnyc
Just like Alexa, the native New Yorker behind this account, one of our main goals is to eat our way through New York City. Follow this account for the must-try places to grab a bite.
@jssilberman
Another day, another stunning NYC photography account. We’re obsessed with this feed for its oh-so-New-York colour scheme, the way it captures the city in every season, and photographer Jeff Silberman’s’s knack for making us feel like we’re transported to the city straight through our phone screen.
@weworewhat
Danielle is the ultimate source of NYC fashion inspo. Whether she’s strolling the streets of SoHo or off at a dinner party (or as she calls it, DP) in the Hamptons, this fashionista knows a thing or two about the high life.
@alyssa.lenore
With a muted colour scheme but a vibrant presentation of her city, Alyssa is serving up Insta inspo on a silver platter. Follow her for all the cozy New York City feels.
@newyorkcity
The name says it all – this is the OG New York City account. Follow for every nook, cranny, season, neighbourhood, and view of the Big Apple. If you haven’t booked a flight yet, you’re doing it wrong!
New York is full of Instagram inspiration (and real-life inspiration too – that’s still a thing, fellow Millennials) and we would love to see your favourite NYC moments on the ‘gram.
