Throughout Hollywood’s fabled history, many of its greatest films were made right here in New York City. Turner Classic Movies and On Location Tours have now teamed up to present the TCM Classic Film Tour, a three-hour exploration through some of the Big Apple’s most iconic cinema sites. Among the dozens of stops the bus will make are at the Empire State Building (King Kong, An Affair to Remember), Grand Central Terminal (North by Northwest, Superman), Central Park (Ghostbusters, The Fisher King), the Dakota (Rosemary’s Baby, Hannah and Her Sisters), the Plaza Hotel (Plaza Suite, Barefoot in the Park), Rockefeller Center (Elf, On the Town), Tiffany’s (Breakfast at Tiffany’s), FAO Schwarz (Big, Baby Boom), and Zabar’s (You’ve Got Mail). There will also be trivia quizzes and movie clips along the way. We’re a little disturbed that the On Location website promises a “fantastic view of the Manhattan Bridge you’ll recognized [sic] from Woody Allen’s Manhattan,” since it’s actually the Queensboro Bridge that appears in the iconic scene (as displayed in the tour logo), but we’ll catch them a break this time and hope that the tour itself isn’t laden with additional mistakes.
