Tips for the Perfect 'Insta-worthy' Experience

The minimum requirement for a photogenic spot is cute drinkware! As long as the container is cute, your photos are sure to look great. Check out social media in advance to spot the best ones.

Going in a group of 2 to 4 is ideal for the perfect table arrangement. Since these trendy spots are often on the smaller side, a large group can make the table look cluttered. Keeping it to at most four people is recommended.
