probably not. it's a public place. you don't pay to go there. shouldn't need a permit.

ooo i hope so...ive been hearing mixed opinions on this one!

NYC Parks & Rec FAQ pages

Here's the Parks department home page; they don't seem to require it for personal (i.e. non-commercial) photos, but you could probably call their info line to be SURE!!

It is true. I believe Grand Central Station requires you a permit for wedding photos.

cool thanks soo much! i feel much better!

actually you will need one for the state park in DUMBO. FH and I took our epics out there. We were fine on the bridge and in the city park portion but once we crossed into the state park area we were stopped by a worker and had to play innocent so he wouldn't get us in trouble. We managed to sneak a few pics out there (its an amazing park) like my avatar.

I'd suggest getting a permit if you don't want the hassle, or just do like we did and play dumb til they catch up to you
