nyc: Hi, I'm on Google maps but I don't know where exactly in NYC do I need to go to get a picture of the Statue of liberty in the background? I'll be coming from JFK then to Times Square. Not sure which between Times Square and that place where I can see the statue is closer to JFK. Thank you!|||Battery Park at the southern end of the island will give you that shot. You can also board the Staten Island ferry for a ride down the harbor which will give you a much closer shot. The ferry is free and it takes about a half hour each way for the round trip/|||The Statue of Liberty is located across the bay from NYC. You can get a decent picture of it from Battery Park. What do you want to get a picture of with the Statue "in the background"? You can see the statue from the top of the Empire State Building or the GE Building at Rockefeller Center, but you can't see it from Times Square - there are too many buildings in the way.|||Well, if you mean that you want to get a snapshot of yourself with the S.O.L. in the background, the best spot is way downtown on the waterfront, but I'm afraid that it's miles away from both Times Square and JFK. In any case, the link below will show you the BEST spot for that photo. Good luck!... :-D
