What we’re about
NYC Shutterbugs is a photography group with fun people taking beautiful pictures of our wonderful city. Because photography is our art, we like to take in what NYC has to offer while appreciating the work others have done before us. So whether you're experienced or just starting out, we welcome you to join us in exploring NYC one frame at a time!

See all- Exploring the Elegance of Forest Hills GardensForest Hills 71st Avenue stop on the E, F, M or R train, Forest Hills, NY
Let's walk and meander through Forest Hills Gardens, a private enclave within the larger neighborhood of Forest Hills, with its Tudor-style townhouses, apartment buildings, and manicured gardens.
We'll meet outside the Forest Hills/71st Avenue station at 2:00 pm; approx. 10 minutes later, we'll begin walking to Station Square and circling along Burns Avenue, eventually travelling along Greenway South and Tennis Place to the West Side Tennis Club/Stadium area (where the US Open was originally contested), concluding our walk from there.
Afterwards, we can walk to the newly opened Forest Hills Pizzeria (at 9 Station Square, across from LIRR), have a bite to eat, and then say our farewells.
