New York City has been crowned the most picturesque city in the U.S.
According to a new report from Rivers Wall Art, an online company that produces art and design imprints, the five boroughs rank as the “most Instagrammable” spots in America.
“The most populated city in the country and arguably the most famous city in the world, [NYC] is a cultural icon,” the study authors noted. “From the annual Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree to the Empire State Building, the Big Apple has some of the world’s most notable and visited attractions, which brought a staggering 61.8 million travelers to the city last year.”
Rivers Wall, which analyzed over 895 million Instagram posts featuring location-specific hashtags for 25 of the most populated cities nationwide, reports that the two most popular hashtags on the social media site are #NYC and #NewYorkCity, which have been used over 145.3 million times and over 35.9 million times, respectively.
NYC bested other big, beautiful hubs like Los Angeles, Chicago, Las Vegas and San Francisco.
