Finding “The Shining” in New York City
Last week, I was scouting an empty townhouse on the Upper East Side. I turned into a room on the second floor – and stopped cold. Holy crap – Had I somehow been transported into the Overlook Hotel from The Shining?? Other than the color difference, the geometric pattern is a dead match. The townhouse…
Abandoned on the Palisades: The Ruins of Cliffdale Manor
For the past couple weeks, I’ve been scouting the Rockland County area, and every time I drive the Palisades north… …I notice this strange castle-like structure whiz past out my window: Clearly the ruins of something, it kept bugging me each time I drove by until finally, I had to stop and figure out what…
The Complete Guide To New York City Horror Movies
Frankenstorm threatening to ruin your Halloween this year? No problem! Why not stay in, pop some corn, turn off the lights (if the storm hasn’t already taken care of that for you), and settle in with a horror movie set in New York City?
Leaving NY: Newark’s Little Red Diner
Note: I think this might be gone. Unless you need to be somewhere on time, I find that getting lost is often one of the best things that can happen to you. Today, I was heading back to the city from Bayonne, NJ, and got confused trying to follow my iPhone’s directions to the highway….
You’re Never Alone
I was taking pictures on an empty side-street in Queens near the East River when I suddenly noticed these five guys staring at me from the back of a truck. Haha, OK, it’s obvious in my pictures that it’s just a very high quality photo, but at the time, thinking I was alone, it definitely…
The 5 Locations Low-Budget Films Should Avoid In New York
Every week, I receive numerous requests from no/low budget filmmakers in search of New York City locations for cheap. Some I can help with; most, I simply don’t know where to begin. While it’s certainly possible to make low-budget films in New York, it often requires a personal connection to secure those more difficult locations…

Nice job tracking these down.
I loooove this movie! Every time I watch it I mourn anew the loss of those great old wood turnstiles that used to be in the subway system, the wood smoothed and discolored by years of hands touching them, the real push you had to give them (because they were not light), the clunking sound they made as they turned to let you through.
Can’t wait until Monday!
Though it’s marked the 96 St. Station, the modern picture looks like my 72nd Street Station… of course, the movie shot could be the 72nd St. Station made to look like the 96th for some reason.
It is definitely the 72nd Street station. The message on the glass says so. The 96th Street station has been remodeled extensively in the last few years, so it’s all changed around, but I think until recently the only entrances were from the sidewalk, nothing from the boulevard strip as on on 72nd. So the movie may have used 72nd to shoot. Either one would make sense with the scenes in Riverside Park.
Come out and play-e-ay!

Dude! Cool! I was wondering when you’d get around to the Warriors!!
Warriors. I love this flick. Can’t wait to see this done in your inimitable style.
The statue seems to be very worn now since the time of the movie, it needs restoration.
LOVE that movie! Can’t wait to see your post on this!
P.S. The 96th St station is still there, isn’t it? I seem to remember it’s on the Broadway median, but it’s not in use anymore.
The 96th St station house that is . . .
