Reply to comment by Remarkable_Landscape in Proposing to SO in NYC by DeaHera

Thanks for the recommendations. I have a commercial-grade camera+tripod and trust my photography skills to do something like this (I do weddings). Plus, the coordination, what if I'm having a bad day or her mood isn't in it, and I want to do it at a different time? It all comes into play.

It's less of your photography skills and more of leaving a directly unattended what I assume is a few thousand dollars of camera equipment is a huge target for someone to grab and run off with it all

From this comment, I can only say I'm glad I don't live in NYC. I can't imagine having to worry about this every day.

I am a photographer and this is not a problem. Unless you are really far away from it, I guess? But even then, there is no greater chance of this happening in New York City than other major cities in the US or Western Europe.

Frankly it's going to be hard to find a private place with few people at that price that allows a tripod setup, and is secure enough to leave a professional camera unattended for a long stretch. But there might be other suggestions, good luck

As for a location if you are thinking botanical garden the Brooklyn one is a good choice
