New York has been the setting for so many famous films that every part of the city feels familiar.

There are some places in Manhattan that are particularly associated with classic movies that were shot there. At the bottom of this page are 7 different movie tours from famous New York settings.


The Devil Wears Prada

The 2006 drama, ‘The Devil Wears Prada,’ was set in New York’s fashion industry. Visit the McGraw –Hill Companies Building, home of ‘Runway Magazine’ where Andrea (Anne Hathaway) and Miranda (Meryl Streep) worked. The St Regis Hotel will be familiar too, as the film’s Paris scenes were shot there. Enjoy a meal at Bubby’s Pie Company, where Andrea’s boyfriend Nate worked, or at Smith & Wollensky where Andrea bought Miranda’s lunchtime steaks.

Spiderman’s adventures can be followed all over the city, from Columbia University where Peter Parker was first bitten by a spider to the Flatiron Building where he worked at ‘The Daily Bugle.’ Visit the Lower East Side apartment where Peter Parker lived and see where the Green Goblin threw Mary Jane from the Queensboro Bridge.
