USA Hamilton Park in Weehawken, New Jersey - NYC View
It's a great spot to see Manhatten before sunrise or after sunset. Not many people (usually) other than a few residents living there and a few tourists. Parking can be a challenge especially during the week, and you may want to take the ferry from Manhattan or Uber it.
Photography Tips
A 24-70mm lens on a Full Frame camera will be ideal here (or wider lens if you have a crop frame camera). I walking around the park - a bit to the South or North—to find a spot with a clear, unobstructed view where the trees don't block your shot. If you have time, arrive an hour before sunrise or stay for an hour after sunset to make the most out of Blue Hour photography and see the city when the lights are done.
Travel Information
Street parking right in front of the park should be available pre-sunrise on weekends. Otherwise parking may be very difficult to find.
