Experience What You’ve Seen in The Films

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.

Taxi Driver

Follow in the footsteps of Travis Bickle, played by Robert De Niro in the 1976 movie, ‘Taxi Driver.’ See the Maine Memorial at Columbus Circle, where he planned to assassinate a politician, the St Regis Hotel where he picks up his final fare and the house in the East Village on East 13th Street where the film has its gory ending.

Spiderman

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.
