The Otto Kahn and James Burden Mansions from “A Perfect Murder”
‘ For someone who is so well-versed in all things movie-related, I know very little about Old Hollywood – a fact my mom often admonishes me for. Case in point – though A Perfect Murder has long been a favorite thriller, I have never seen Dial M for Murder, the 1954 Alfred Hitchcock masterpiece from…

Billy’s Bakery
‘ At the risk of looking like a total and complete dork (not to mention a fool!), I thought I’”‘”‘d post some pretty idiotic photographs that I took on my very first trip to New York. At the time I was completely obsessed with Katie Holmes. This was in December of 2005, in the pre-Suri…

Terry’s Apartment from “Jumpin’ Jack Flash”
‘ I’ve made no secret over the years of my love for Jumpin’ Jack Flash. (You can read the posts I’ve done on the 1986 comedy’s locations here, here, here, and here.) Whoopi Goldberg is literally perfection in her role as zany New York bank employee Terry Dolittle and I pretty much go around quoting…

Famous Original Ray’s Pizza from “Sex and the City”
‘ The Grim Cheaper and I used to visit New York at least once a year. Prior to this recent trip, though, we had not been to Manhattan since October 2009! Being separated from my favorite city for almost seven years was quite a hard pill to swallow. During that time, I accumulated a ridiculously…

The New York County Courthouse from “Law and Order”
‘ One New York filming location that will look familiar to anyone who passes it – unless they’”‘”‘ve been living under a rock for the past ten years – is the New York County Courthouse. This massive building, with it’”‘”‘s hundred foot wide grand staircase and towering granite colonnade, has been featured in thousands of…
