42 DEN OF GEEK
One of New York City’s newest and most beloved parks, this slice of urban bliss has made special use of an abandoned strip of elevated train tracks. It also saw Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone make eyes in The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
12th Avenue and 34th Street
THE HIGH LINE
While we cannot offer you the corner penthouse of Spook Central, enjoy knowing that this Ghostbusters location is on the National Register of Historic Places. Ivo Shandor would be proud.
55 Central Park West and 66th Street
2. THE DANA BARRETT BUILDING
The dream home of occultists everywhere, Mia Farrow found the spot crawling with hellish neighbors in Rosemary’s Baby. Many celebrities still live here, though hopefully not for the basement parties.
Central Park West and 72nd Street
1. THE DAKOTA
FILM
This historic Broadway theater has housed the original productions of Oklahoma!, The King and I, and The Producers, but you probably know it best as the spot where Michael Keaton went nuts in Birdman.
8th Avenue and 44th Street
ST. JAMES THEATRE
Whether you take a picture from the top or bottom, you’ll love the site where King Kong met gravity.
The former speakeasy is a staple of pop culture both fictional and otherwise, appearing in films like All About Eve and Wall Street while serving as a favorite real-life watering hole for Ernest Hemingway, and Bogie and Bacall. Tip to cosplayers: the outside is photogenic ‘30s chic, but it’s business casual to get inside.
52nd Street Between 5th and 6th Avenues
6. 21 CLUB
Grab a croissant or pastry of choice and have your Breakfast at Tiffany’s! Little black dresses and crack of dawn arrivals are optional.
5th Avenue and 57th Street
5. TIFFANY & CO.
Boy, this really is a great city, I don’t care what anybody says. The same could be said for how well Manhattan still plays in the shadow of the Queensboro Bridge and Gershwin.
E. 59th Street and Sutton Place
RIVERVIEW TERRACE
5th Avenue and 34th Street
EMPIRE STATE BUILDING
If you’re near the Plaza, stop by this classic footbridge that was a repeated backdrop for Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.
Southeast Corner of Central Park
GAPSTOW BRIDGE
Borat tried to leave his brown mark on this hotel’s sign, which some say would have befitted its namesake.
