It's been four years since I moved to Los Angeles from New York City, and there are so many things I miss. I miss the bodega bagels I'd grab on my way to work, and how I never experienced a bad slice of pizza. I also miss my friends and exploring the city with them. Of course, I can always call my besties and get pizza in L.A., but the one thing that's impossible to recreate is that gorgeous NYC skyline. Whether you're a local or you're just visiting for a weekend, every picture you take of it can leave you in complete awe. That's why you need Instagram captions for NYC skyline pics.

The NYC skyline is an iconic skyline you'd recognize anywhere. I still get chills whenever I see it in movies. One of my favorite things to do was walk across the Brooklyn Bridge from Brooklyn's side so I could get a full view of the skyline. It was always an Instagram-worthy moment. I used to live on Roosevelt Island and was blessed with the best views of the skyline from my bedroom, too.

If you're looking for amazing photos for your next NYC trip, I highly recommend taking the tram over to Roosevelt Island and walking around. If you time it perfectly with the sunset, you're sure to get some gorgeous shots you'll want to share right away. Be prepared to use any of these 25 NYC skyline captions for your post.
