"In case you missed it, the Oord word of the year in 2013 was selfie (yep, they also added it to the dictionary!). And no wonder: People post more than one million selfies every day, from all corners of the U.S. and across the globe. That number got us to wondering how many selfies are being snapped at this very moment in NYC\u2014and where, exactly, do people tend to take them? The answer is: everywhere. That's one of the great things about New York\u2014no matter where you are, you're probably in a place that's worthy of a snapshot.\n\nBut that doesn't mean some spots aren't more selfie-worthy than others. We did a quick survey of our favorite city documentarians and pulled together a list of five not-to-be-missed selfie spots across the boroughs. Check'em out!\n\n1. The Brooklyn Bridge\n\nThis one's a no brainer\u2014it seems like every movie or show that's ever been shot in the city features this iconic spot\u2014but not everyone knows that they're getting a little piece of history when they walk across. The Brooklyn Bridge is a historical landmark (it opened in 1883) and from the center of those soaring arches you will get a view of the city unlike any other. We recommend snapping a selfie late in the day, when you can take full advantage of a gorgeous sunset. Finish up your bridge walk with a cheesy slice on the other side: You've earned it, after walking a mile from Manhattan to Brooklyn!\n\n2. Anywhere in Washington Square Park\n\nWhile this neck of town is often the turf of NYU students on a study break, it's also an amazing intersection of old city and new, between the musicians who sometimes play grand pianos in the park, chess games on the southwest side, and kids splashing their feet in the fountain at the center of it all. Our fave selfie spots in Washington Square are underneath the arch, sitting with your feet in the fountain, or relaxing benchside with your best buds (we have a lot of that last one in our own selfie arsenal).\n\n3. Strawberry Fields\n\nOur favorite spots in Central Park seem to shift with the seasons, but Strawberry Fields is a forever fave. These few acres are dedicated to John Lennon (and named after the Beatles song), and it's a beautiful place to just let it be for a bit. Grab a picnic blanket, a book, some snacks, and plan to hang there for the afternoon. Don't forget to snap a selfie with the Imagine symbol at the entrance before you leave, although one of you just lounging on the lush grass will do.\n\n4. The New Museum Sky Room\n\nFull disclosure: This is one of our most loved museums in town, and it's definitely worth a walk through its amazing art exhibits. But regardless of what awesome work is on display, it's been argued that the very best part of the New Museum is its gorgeous Sky Room on the top floor. You'll have one of the best views of lower Manhattan from this spot, with floor-to-ceiling glass windows and a panoramic view of downtown rooftops. Step out on to the balcony and snap a selfie with the skyline at your back\u2014you won't be the first to do it, but this view is definitely worth a shot!\n\n5.The Brooklyn Flea\n\nFlea markets are one of the best things that happen on weekends in New York\u2014trust us on this one, they're something you must see for yourself\u2014and the Brooklyn flea (which moves indoors during the winter and takes place in Fort Greene, Park Slope, and Williamsburg) is at the top of our list. There's always tons of delicious food to go along with the hundreds of artisanal vendors, fab vintage finds, and things you didn't know you needed in your life until you arrived at the flea\u2014plus it's the perfect place to bum around with friends when you're looking for an outing that doesn't require a lot of dough. Another bonus? Selfie opportunities galore. With that many props at your disposal, you're destined to take a great one.\n\nDo you have any favorite selfies straight out of NYC?
