Why are so many movies filmed in New York?
In: Other
It’s an easily-recognized setting and the sheer size of it allows for a lot of different “feels” of neighborhood to be had without having to spend money taking crews and actors all over the place. Need skyscrapers? Go to Manhattan. Don’t need them? Go to maybe Queens. Suburban? Go more toward the outskirts. Need a park? Lots of parks.
It provides a lot of city in one place and once you get out of downtown Manhattan and the super-easily-recognized places like the Empire State Building and Times Square and the Flatiron, it’s not terribly difficult to find a location that hasn’t already been seen a million times.
