Famous Places That I Saw in New York - So Exciting!

Katz's Delicatessen - Where Meg Ryan faked her famous orgasm in the 1989 Hollywood flick 
"When Harry Met Sally". 




 FAO Schwartz - Toy store where Mr. MacMillan and Josh Baskin (Tom Hanks) were dancing on the floor piano in the movie "Big".

Empire State Building - "Sleepless in Seattle" on the observation deck Annie Reed (Meg Ryan) finally had her rendezvous with the widower Sam Baldwin (Tom Hanks) & "King Kong" carried Fay Wray to the top by climbing up the building.

 Tiffany & Co - "Breakfast at Tiffany's" Holly Golightly (Audrey Hepburn) was standing in front of the windows of Tiffany's eating her breakfast in the movie.  I've heard that they do not like you to ask where breakfast is.



Mulberry Street Bar - "Sopranos", "Godfather III", "Donnie Brasco", "Law & Order" Backdrop.  If you had to whack a mob boss, you'd probably take him to this Little Italy gem.

 Gray's Papaya - "Sex and the City" & "Fools Rush In"; Carrie on "Sex and the City" grabbed one of their $1.50 dogs and papaya juice after her ritzy book party on the TV show and this was Alex's (Matthew Perry) favorite place in "Fouls Rush In".


 Church of Transfiguration - "Sex and the City"; this is where Samantha tried to catch the eye of a good-looking priest.



Magnolia Bakery - "Sex & the City"; Carrie and Miranda swopped stories about crushes while eating Magnolia's butter cream-topped delights.

"People's Court"  - My favorite TV Court Show, unfortunately I didn't have time to get tickets and go see Judge Marilyn Milian!  My picture didn't come out.

New York Public Library - This is where the ghostbusters in "Ghost Buster" movie come running out the front doors of the library and down the stairs after having encountered a ghost.  It was also the backdrop to one of my favorite shows on TV, "Arrow"!

 

South Street Seaport - This is the very spot where "Godzilla" first stepped out of the East River.
