I always loved the Lower Manhattan view just a little bit more than the Midtown skyline. Compared to Midtown skyline`s vast variety of skyscrapers, Lower Manhattan presents itself to us like a mountain rushing to the top at the spire of 1 World Trade Center. 1 World Trade Center stands tall in the middle of the skyline like a giant who is determined to not let us forget one of the worst memories of humankind.
There are 3 cities by the Hudson River across NYC that have the best views of the Manhattan skyline. Jersey City, Hoboken, and Weehawken. This view is from Jersey City where I had my lunch breaks every day for 6 months.
If you want to catch the amazing beauty of the Manhattan skyline, blue hours is your best chance. You have enough light to capture all the details of the skyscrapers and amazing light show mixed with blue of the coming night and yellow of the leaving sun. Another challenge with this view is you have too much water and sky that are basically empty spaces so while you are creating your panorama, you have to be careful not to miss any frame between moves.
