I was going to post this in "Movies & Television," but a great deal of his posts are about general NY sights - figured you guys would find this interesting!

http://www.scoutingny.com/

"I work as a film location scout in New York City. My day is spent combing the streets for interesting and unique locations for feature films. In my travels, I often stumble across some pretty incredible sights, most of which go ignored daily by thousands of New Yorkers in too much of a rush to pay attention.

As it happens, it's my job to pay attention, and I've started this blog to keep a record of what I see.

Hi Gina,

I tell myself that I've been to NY a few times and now I'm gonna go somewhere different, but every time I see pics of the city I am drawn to it. I find it absolutely wonderful for some reason. Makes me wanna go back again. smile

Anyway, I love looking at the backgrounds, buildings, styles and such. Much of it looks the same as far as the buildings go.In the first link (Taxi Driver) is that a naked lady statue on top of the Bond building where it says "Women's Apparel? LOL Also, isn't that Sbarro's Pizza in Times Square still there?

I didn't know (or at least didn't remember) that Rosemary's Baby was filmed at the Dakota (same hotel John Lennon was killed years later). I went to the front entrance last time I visited NY. It's right by Central Park.

Thanks for posting. I'm not a NY expert to know what's what, but nonetheless I love seeing the enticing city of NY.

New York is to me the greatest city in the world. I love everything about it. Exciting is definitely the right word for that city. The nightlife is fucking electric.

That scene from "Big", as well as the date at the amusement park, was filmed at Rye Playland at Rye Beach in the suburbs of NY City. The dance hall where they went after the rides, however, isn't in Rye. Not sure where that was filmed.
