6 carefully curated photography spots with GPS coordinates, shooting tips, and local insights
60 Pearl Street
60 Pearl Street sits in Port Chester’s compact downtown—an unassuming mixed-use brick/late-20th-century streetscape good for architectural details, storefronts, and candid street scenes. Photograph façades, signage, and nearby pedestrian rhythms. Best light: golden hour or blue hour for warm tones and lit windows. Weekday mornings are quieter; evenings show nightlife. Street parking and municipal lots nearby; building appears private so plan exterior shots only. Close to the Metro-North station,
Lyon Park
Small, family-friendly town park with mature trees, open lawns, playgrounds, gazebos, sports fields and a pre‑war house with original slave quarters—good for mixed scenes: candid family/play photos, shaded tree canopies, and architectural detail. No entry fee; plenty of free street parking (no parking 1–6am). Paved paths make it wheelchair/stroller friendly. Best light: golden hour for warm lawns and long shadows, overcast for even playground portraits; weekdays/early mornings avoid crowds. Rest
