Apple Store is NYC's fifth most-photographed spot

applestore.jpgThe Map Room, a blog about maps, today highlights an interesting bit of news about photography in New York City.

A team of computer scientists at Cornell University analyzed geotags on 35 million photos on flickr to create accurate global and city maps. And further, according to New Scientist, they also judged a popularity contest:
New York City is the most photographed city on Earth – over 12 million of the photos analysed were snapped there. Bizarrely, the team’s findings show that the fifth-most photographed place in the city is the Apple store in midtown Manhattan.
According to the research paper by David Crandall, Lars Backstrom, Daniel Huttenlocher and Jon Kleinberg, the most photographed sites in New York City are:

1. Empire State Building
2. Times Square
3. Rockefeller Center
4. Grand Central Terminal
5. Apple Store on Fifth Avenue
6. Columbus Circle
7. Liberty Island

(And just for good measure, the second most photographed place in Las Vegas is the New York New York Hotel & Casino.)

Earlier: It’s Monday, so we must be at the Apple SoHo shop
