Eagle-eyed fans of Sex and the City will recognize Carrie’s apartment in the West Village, listed in 2012 for a whopping $9.65 million. Understandably, the steps are adorned with a “no trespassing” sign, just in case you were thinking of taking a selfie. Scenes from Woody Allen’s Alice (1990) were also shot on this street.

A stroll around the corner will take you to dessert heaven, a.k.a. Magnolia Bakery, pioneers of the SATC-related cupcake trend in the 2000s. For a tasty treat as big as Hulk’s fist, try the Red Velvet. 

If you’re planning on re-creating the scene from The Thomas Crown Affair (1999) where Pierce Brosnan gets chased through the galleries while wearing a suave bowler hat, we want to know you, because that's bizarre.

When there’s something strange in your neighborhood, you better call the boys at Firehouse, Hook & Ladder Company 8.

There’s even a chalk drawing on the sidewalk to remind you.

Bibliophiles will go mad for scenes in Prizzi’s Honor (1985) and You’re a Big Boy Now (1966). But they might want to hide behind a cushion during 2004’s post-apocalyptic The Day After Tomorrow, when an epic wall of water drenches all those fragile pages.

“This guy makes the best soup in the city, Jerry—the best.” Well, we can’t confirm or deny that, as this branch is now closed. But fans will enjoy snapping a photo of the sign outside Soup Man, the setting for this 1995 episode of Seinfeld. Just don’t mention Soup Nazis. 

Closed - at 259 W 55th St, NY 10019

This spot has been serving legendary pastrami and corned beef since 1888. And there's no sense of it slowing down, thanks to that iconic scene in When Harry Met Sally. Their table is even labeled in the middle of the restaurant, so snag it if you can. But be prepared to perform for the crowd.
