Engagement Photos Places to Pose

while I don't like the whole idea of engagement photos, I am compelled to have them done as to get compfortable with the photographer that will be shooting our wedding day. These pictures will not be used for our save the dates as these have long been posted, but will be for us, for no other reason but to have great pictures together. And who knows...it could prove to be a fun exercise.

So here is the list of locations as suggestions by my photographer. So I would love some help in choosing where we should actually do it.

PLACES TO POSE:
Central Park SE corner at 59th
Central Park 72nd
Victorian Gardens in Central Park
Wollman Rink
Hippo Park
Central park Conservatory Gardens
Tribeca Streets for more Urban style (Staple Street)
Soho
Meatpacking District
NY Public Library and Bryant Park (for a few shots without Permit)
Brooklyn Botanical Gardens (permit likely required)
Brooklyn Bridge
Lower East Side

so let me know your thoughts on best places for engagement photos!
