Overview

Step into the movies on a 4-hour private ride through New York’s most famous filming locations. With pickup and drop-off from your hotel, your English-speaking driver will guide you through spots seen on the big screen, with flexibility to customize along the way. Begin in Tribeca at the Ghostbusters Firehouse, the legendary HQ from the classic film. Next, head to the Lower East Side for a photo (and maybe a bite) at Katz’s Delicatessen, home to one of cinema’s most iconic rom-com scenes. Continue to Greenwich Village to visit the Friends Apartment Building, whose exterior became a TV landmark. Finally, cross into Brooklyn to the cinematic DUMBO Manhattan Bridge View, where the bridge perfectly frames the street, a backdrop used in countless films from mob dramas to superhero blockbusters. At the end, your driver returns you to your hotel or the spot of your choice.
