Shows have been set in different times and with different themes but New York City has served as their movie studio. Here are some of the most famous ones:
The New York of the 1960s is recreated in this cult show, and no doubt its fans will want to discover the places of Manhattan where the action took place. One of the main points is Madison Avenue where The Sterling Cooper Office is located, at number 405, as well as the hotel where Don Draper lived after his divorce.
PJ Clarke's at 915 3rd Avenue, The Waldorf Astoria on Park Avenue, Don's apartment at 136 Waverly Place or Don and Megan's apartment at 738 Park Avenue are some of the other most popular locations in the show.
The iconic show that never goes out of style has its epicenter in Central Park, a place that isn’t real in this case. However, you can find the building where the leading characters lived on the corner of Bedford St and Grove St.
Bloomingdale's department store where Rachel takes her first steps in the world of fashion, Chandler's office behind the Plaza Hotel or the Natural History Museum where Ross and Joey meet.
The famous MacLaren's is not part of the city but it’s true that the creators of the show were inspired by a bar known as McGee's, which looks much alike. Located at 240 West 55 Street, it currently has a menu with references to the show.
One of the cult shows that transferred New York to the small screen. Start at Carrie Bradshaw's apartment at 66 Perry Street, and from there go visit Cine Paris at 4 West 58th Street, Magnolia Bakery at 401 Bleecker Street or the Monkey Bar at 60 East 54th Street.
Grand Central Station in Midtown Manhattan is the starting point of the show, the place where Serena is first spotted or where she hides, The Campbell Apartment, the speakeasy from the love scene with Nate, the stairs of the MET, the Pulitzer Fountain (the group’s meeting point) or Central Park (where Blair and Chuck’s wedding in Bethesda Terrace takes place).
Apart from the different locations where shows were actually recorded, the city has several establishments that remind you that you are in the New York of the TV show. Two of the best known are the NBC and HBO stores, where you can find souvenirs from your favorite shows.
Reopened on May 2021 after a full renovation, the NH Collection New York Madison Avenue is about as central as it gets. This 100-year-old building offers an ideal location at Madison Avenue and 38th street, within walking distance to some of the big attractions, like the Empire State Building. Step inside to enjoy cutting-edge interior design, with nods to Madison Avenue's golden age of advertising.
