NYC Wedding Filter: The future Ms. Smatatoes thinks numbered tables for our wedding would be too boring, but the current Mr. Smatatoes doesn't want cutesy names (ie, "Tribeca", "Red Hook"), either.

Here's the question: what are some good, creative places to get a cool shot of the numbers 1-20 around NYC?
