If you’ve ever wanted to step inside Joe Goldberg’s unnervingly romantic world—without ending up on his list—here’s your chance. On Location Tours is launching a limited-time pop-up walking tour inspired by Netflix’s hit thriller You, happening Friday, October 24 at 11am on the Upper West Side.

The 75-minute tour traces the show’s most chilling New York moments and filming locations, from Peach Salinger’s stately brownstone to Tavern on the Green, where Joe and Kate were spotted flirting under the paparazzi’s glare. You’ll pass the Central Park arch at West 77th Street (the scene of Joe’s infamous ambush), then swing by Mooney’s Bookstore (played by the real-life Logos Bookstore) to relive the show’s literary beginnings.

Because this is New York, the tour also threads in a few iconic horror backdrops. You’ll stop by the Hotel des Artistes, seen in the 1977 psychological thriller Audrey Rose; the New York Historical Society, featured in The House by the Cemetery; and Patrick Bateman’s apartment from American Psycho at 55 West 81st Street. It’s a cinematic crash course in the city’s creepiest on-screen moments—all guided by a local actor armed with insider stories, trivia and a few Halloween-season surprises.

On Location Tours has been turning film sets into real-life adventures for 26 years, with tours running in New York, Boston and Chicago. This pop-up, celebrating You’s fifth and final season, which already aired, marks a fitting return to where it all began: the polished, book-lined streets that shaped Joe’s obsession.

Tickets are available now and guests can take $5 off with the promo code YOU5.
