15 Best Photobooths In NYC — From Vintage Film Classics To Digital Snapshots

Self-described as a “funky, compact dive bar with a throwback punk-rock vibe,” this spot leans all the way in with its vintage film photobooth. Because what’s more punk than leaving with a slightly smudged, perfectly imperfect souvenir in your back pocket?

You may see a line around the block for this viral gem, but it’s well worth the wait. Old Friend Photobooth is a lovingly restored 1970s black-and-white booth dedicated to keeping true analog magic alive in NYC. With locations on Allen Street in Manhattan and Berry Street in Brooklyn, the booth develops each strip the old-school way—chemical dips, rich contrast, and all. It’s proof that some things are better in black and white.

This list is mostly film, but for those craving something a little more digital (and a lot more editorial), there are few better options than Something Soft.

Located on Allen Street, this photobooth-meets-gift-shop experience reimagines the classic strip with four uniquely designed booths, each offering its own concept and perspective. And the fun doesn’t stop at prints—your photos can be turned into keychains and wearable accessories, made to be styled, carried, and shown off long after you’ve left. It’s polished, playful, and proof that digital can still feel persona

Hidden in the back of Bootleg Bar, this laid‑back Bushwick dive serves cold drinks, classic jukebox vibes, pool games, and one very charming vintage film photobooth that’s perfect for ending the night with something sweet to take home. 

What’s better than one photobooth? A whole museum of them!

At Autophoto on Orchard Street is an analog wonderland that’s part archive, part gallery, part portrait studio, packed with lovingly restored machines ready to spit out inky black-and-white strips (and even rare color, if you’re lucky).

Love was definitely in the air this Valentine’s Day, and nothing captures it quite like a vintage photobooth!

The vintage photobooth at Carousel is the perfect finishing touch to a quintessential Bushwick night.
