Good settings for a post-apocalyptic story

Are you talking about in equestria? perhaps the everfree forest, which could either be overgrown (taking over equestria) or dying (due to pony nukes or something). Or maybe in the diamond dog mines, the last shelter in an inhospitable world. You could have it in the crystal empire, the last remaining city in Equestria. another possiblitiy could be floating cloud cities/fortresses where the ground is full of death/zombies/insert apocalyptic thing

Any place is good for a post-apocalyptic story, really.  What matters is how the themes of the post-apocalyptic genre (loneliness, survival, anarchy, barbarism, etc) can be applied to that setting.  For example, one idea that comes to mind might be a group of researchers trapped in Antarctica after the rest of the world was nuked, and they have to find a way to survive in this cold, barren, inhospitable wasteland while also trying to keep their sanity.

What would be good settings for a post-apocalyptic story?

Just look at the Equestrian map for locations and post-apocalyptic fiction for ways to "ponify" it. Like perhaps a character survived the apocalypse through use of a bunker that could be below his home in Canterlot or the Ponyville, hell, even under Foal Mountain would work. Or, perhaps, do what the season 5 finale did and explore the alternate realities in which the antagonists won: the Changeling McCarthyis attitude could cause complete distrust of everypony; the famine brought forth by Nightmare Moon's eternal night could cause the government to collapse and inspire Mad Max-like "every pony for themselves" attitude; or Discord's desolate land of chaos that shifts without warning or reason. Message me if you ever need/want help writing it.
