Dreaming of NYC? We don't blame you. The Big Apple is the main character in many of people's desires, including our own. So when you're yearning for that famous skyline or Katz's Deli or a day spent lounging in Tompkins Square Park, open up your phone and follow these folks instead. Below, the Instagram accounts to follow if you love New York City. From fashion royalty like Marc Jacobs, Maryam Nassir Zadeh and Sandy Liang to people-watching accounts like New York Nico and Watching New York.

If London is more your bag, then take a look at these Instagram accounts instead. Otherwise, we've got a roundup of Instagram accounts to follow if your heart lay with Paris.

For more as far as New York City is concerned, take this wrap up of the highlights from New York Fashion Week Spring 2024. Including a debrief on all the best street style witnessed so far. Ralph Lauren returned to the runway this season too, find a run through of the designer's latest show here.

Furthermore, catch New York City native Jordan Daniels in our conversation with the model, where she discusses fangirling, her hometown and the soundtracks that have defined her life.
