New York Memento
New York
New York Memento is a cozy analog photo booth studio located on a West Village corner, famous for its signature leopard- and cheetah-print interior, vintage picture frames, and red velvet curtains. It dispenses classic black-and-white photo strips—typically four photos per session—that uniquely print the exact date captured. Sessions are paid easily via QR code, offering both physical prints and digital copies in a private, retro setting with touch-up mirrors.
While commenters frequently praise the charming vintage aesthetic and tag friends to plan visits, reactions to the actual experience are decidedly mixed. Several users complain about steep pricing around $11 to $15 and report technical issues like broken booths, missing digital files, or disappointing photo quality. Additionally, some caution that the older booth contrast can be unflattering or poorly calibrated for darker skin tones.
- Expect to pay around $11–$15 for two strips with digital copies via QR code
- Take advantage of the built-in touch-up mirror before starting your four poses
- Prints uniquely feature the date stamped directly on the strip
- Lines are typically shorter than other viral booths in the area
- Be aware that lighting and contrast may not flatter darker skin tones
