Kobra's "27 Club" Mural

This impressive mural is situated right in the corner of Rivington Street and Forsyth Street. It's easy to locate in Google Maps -- you can't miss it. By Subway: - Closest Station: Bowery Staition (J or Z train) - Turn right on Delancey Street - Turn left on Forsyth Street - Turn right on Rivington Street and the mural will be on your left Address: Kobra's "27 Club" Mural, 36 Rivington St, New York, NY 10002

There is a large tree in front of the mural, so in order to get an unobstructed view, I recommend going in the winter months when the tree is bare.

I suggest visiting during morning through late afternoon to capture the vibrant colors of the mural. The atmosphere in sunrise, sunset and blue hour could also give a cool mood to this hidden gem.

By photographing from across the street, you’ll be able to incorporate all five musicians into one single shot. Otherwise, a closer look into each individual is also a great idea.

Try to align yourself in the middle of the mural so that your entire frame is centered. You want the mural to be the focus, so if it's centered, your image will be more proportional.

A person walking by or a classic New York taxi cab could make your photo more lively and interesting. Be patient and wait for your favorite subject to walk or drive by.

There are bunch of things waiting for you to explore in the close proximity. These are some of my neighborhood favorites: - Good Thanks Cafe (131a Orchard St) is great for coffee and brunch - Supermoon Bakehouse (120 Rivington St) has delicious croissant varieties - Sel Rrose (1 Delancey St) is a beautiful bar and great for oysters and cocktails - Green Fingers Market (5 Rivington St) is a really cute plant shop - Freeman's Alley is an Instagram classic - PUBLIC Hotel has a really cool and photogenic escalator - Check out New Museum for awesome exhibitions
