Moviegoers first learned about this skyscraper through the movie An Unforgettable Affair. Its main characters agreed to meet on the roof of the Empire State Building after they met on a cruise ship. Since then, this place has been very popular for meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s also impossible to forget the huge success of King Kong, which made the Empire State Building famous around the world. According to the script, a huge gorilla climbed to the roof of this skyscraper. This impressed the moviegoers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.new-york-trend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2023\/06\/9_ub0u2klqcftfvdd1vi8yrirfkxcjiyeea_kaozefnh8vegvrgikzqpftz3artgnupcpag6lro1mb8us7kgsvqae6me1ef6f7okslnkvgpb9fnqak2erfyulr_dbam9peam0tcay3k4xrvh3gnhz4co8.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Radio_City_Music_Hall\"><\/span>Radio City Music Hall<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The theater, which is known all over the world, has also become a movie set. For example, Radio City Music Hall footage can be seen in The Valley of Decision, The Late George Apley, The Godfather and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Concerts and theater performances are also held in the halls of this building every day. It is easily recognizable at any time thanks to its colorful signage. For many years, this music hall has remained one of the most popular places for cultural recreation in NYC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.new-york-trend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2023\/06\/9_a3scpve6yauqlkrji6uirrlu-sy0zptciesabx106pyt9tpnbnvxwu5fr2kdrszsnpchflafqlgh6kllorfgkbmlyisfgaaudnouceqmrhbizrzb_qo5n_b2yqkgwgg5hxnfcdz4dbzl56n0dg3udqe.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Times_Square\"><\/span>Times Square<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The main square of NYC and one of the main U.S. attractions has been a movie set many times. It is always noisy, crowded and bright. There are a lot of people, advertising banners, signs and shops&#8230; It seems that the active rhythm of life never stops here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following movies were filmed in Times Square, Taxi Driver, Date Night, Captain America, Spider-Man and Vanilla Sky. For the filming of the latter movie, this street was closed for the first time ever. To shoot the scene where actor Tom Cruise walks alone on the road with no people or cars, they had to pay USD 1 million. The cameramen also took other shots here, such as yellow taxis driving by, lovers meeting, flying in the air above skyscrapers and much more. All these shots became an ad for Times Square for moviegoers around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.new-york-trend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2023\/06\/9_pij2lmswlxv07mh6oyzc7tkxxljqetr2jwcudrmgepwm_shjnzanf1cuusswmvmpl7yvuq0btiedldtixcrklwtbqdou3gln8xp5yvn4glbi52zjyfmmno_ox6cvbqd3qe_q9hflq7udm8x_vyx-dno.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Central_Park\"><\/span>Central Park<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s not only a great place to relax but also a movie set. Many filmmakers prefer to shoot movies here because of the many picturesque views of NYC&#8217;s infrastructure and nature. Besides, it is the only green area in Manhattan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first film shoot in Central Park took place in 1908. Back then, the movie Romeo and Juliet was filmed here. Later, this area became a place for filming other movies. Moviegoers will recognize Central Park&#8217;s paths and benches in Kramer vs. Kramer and Maid in Manhattan, the beautiful Bethesda Fountain in Enchanted and the Wollman Rink in the romantic shots of Intuition and Love Story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.new-york-trend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2023\/06\/9_ydefrvuodnfqob_ges0jgalrngpay2ly0i_lyo6goe9hiumoyxc3-dciosgrjzrkkxv1nwsqi9ueysjxraumo0x4ruddwvuuotgpdyj8bk1epv-p4wxuxidazcco-5cfepq-ztjfwcn1po_p2c7nhja.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Plaza_Hotel\"><\/span>The Plaza Hotel<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The history of the oldest and most luxurious hotel in Manhattan holds many interesting events and facts about tourists and movie stars. The first movie character visited the hotel in 1959. It was secret agent George Kaplan from the movie North by Northwest. Also, the luxurious halls of this hotel became the scene of a battle between two friends from the movie Bride Wars. The protagonist of The Family Man, Hollywood celebrities the Olsen sisters from the movie New York Minute and Macaulay Culkin, who became the main character of the New Year&#8217;s comedy Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, also stayed here. At the Plaza Hotel, he met with the future U.S. President, Donald Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.new-york-trend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2023\/06\/9_3zmnfssb8n1b03exzus5-mb_vczrh8n32yg-4gyahze1eqacsytz08z970lu9m8wphqmspqofau5ta99ndf_kpg2m9jeimssrt24qacefylcsn2jnlxleudwog6oiex7vsbt4zycfqjfjtear-zzu5i.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Public_Library\"><\/span>Public Library<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The reading rooms of this building have gone down in movie history forever. Here, the main characters of the movie Ghostbusters encountered the ghost of a librarian named Eleanor Twitty. The characters Dorothy and Toto from The Wiz also found themselves in this library, where one of the marble lions suddenly came to life and joined their exciting journey. The public library was also featured in the movie The Day After Tomorrow, where it became a shelter for hundreds of people fleeing the global cold snap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.new-york-trend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2023\/06\/9_0bat5wuyx15wkkahniviookvfkvgww1urifs6u6dkaf-0vuuvyqyxwzbccyw7thextjroufakzgujpahvhydszqvhz90uyzzt32cmfcugkhexnwpi9s9-vyfzh-euaesjfu-u4va0g7drrqmmvqpsrm.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Grand_Central_Terminal\"><\/span>Grand Central Terminal<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of the incredibly beautiful architecture and special atmosphere in this building, many directors have decided to shoot here. Grand Central Terminal can be seen in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Superman, The Girl on the Train, North by Northwest, 21 Bridges and Before We Go. Their characters met here, solved mysteries, stopped trains, organized spy pursuits and found love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, in the movie Before We Go, fate brought together two strangers at a central station who soon became a couple in love. This happened after a girl, Brooke, missed the last train at night and became a victim of a robbery. Fortunately, a young man named Nick was passing by and helped her in a difficult situation. At the time, neither of them could imagine that they would have an affair. A walk at night through NYC\u2019s streets changed their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.new-york-trend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2023\/06\/9_k11f4xcytp5pyl5m-mbwzjkyhbn0vsieq-x3hjpyeq7ypqzolfusdau3xcc8zjcgfwn3wlukqe29jnmneakdjrz93escuyjrrvd1t56gcpe8a00othmmjvwilujqtus8wsuujxunvq4biasyxwviswi.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"American_Museum_of_Natural_History\"><\/span>American Museum of Natural History<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to filming, this museum has become one of the most popular in NYC. It is visited by adults and children alike to see familiar movie exhibits and learn about their history and features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The footage of this museum can be seen in Men in Black II, The Devil Wears Prada and One Fine Day&#8230; However, the greatest success was the movie Night at the Museum and its second part. Director Shawn Levy&#8217;s idea to bring the museum&#8217;s exhibits to life helped create a fascinating fantasy movie. The protagonist, security guard Larry, barely manages to survive until dawn and cope with the trials that the living sculptures and skeletons have arranged for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.new-york-trend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2023\/06\/9_k1klovwyvimywnk0lrbgbnwi6uq4ocfc4cje904ajzrjs3rwmrelerlp-uig-kizxeg7ar7kfpp6f6bzkvruleecais-vf4n5px9vmykr-x9hmuqw4nzdq1-gptgnm5mq-bgfz3zqz9kbtzt4m2wmgg.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wall_Street\"><\/span>Wall Street<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This world-famous street is NYC&#8217;s financial center.

These include The Big Short, Margin Call and The Wolf of Wall Street&#8230; The latter became the most popular.
