hello fellow travelers today we are live in new york city and we're going to use
i am standing in front of the huey l carey tunnel ventilation building in new york
you might recognize it as men in black headquarters from the popular movie trilogy
in the movie will smith and tommy lee jones would enter through these doors guarded by only a single
guard and then enter elevators which would whisk them away to the subterranean headquarters below
help you yeah this dude gave me this card
elevator another classic men in black moments saw will smith pursuing an alien at the guggenheim
well there's something strange in this neighborhood it's the ghostbusters fire hall
also known as the hook and ladder you can almost imagine the ecto-1
blasting through the open doors of this building
in a nod to the film you can still see the ghostbusters logo painted on the ground out
front one memorable scene from ghostbusters 2 saw the statue of liberty uproot herself
and head towards the island of manhattan
this building behind me played the role of spook central in the original ghostbusters film
special effects artists recreated the ground level of this building on an la
backlot so they could shoot scenes where the streets were destroyed for the film's climax
we're out front of sardi's restaurant this famous manhattan restaurant displays caricatures
of famous people and has been featured in films such as the muppets take manhattan
a frog i'm here in front of the plaza hotel
which is where kevin mcallister stayed when he was in new york
well he was here he managed to rack up an extensive room service bill while outwitting
the suspicious tim curry this is the concierge sir you was here last night too wasn't it
yes sir i was you was here and you were smooching with my brother
i'm afraid you're mistaken
and behind me is the carnegie music hall where kevin snuck
in to enjoy a christmas eve symphony performance
well in new york kevin took the time to do some sightseeing such as one scene where he visited
battery park at the tip of manhattan
the viewing stations that kevin used no longer exist because the promenade was
refurbished in the late 1990s radio city music hall is all decked out
for christmas and ready for the return of the rockettes christmas spectacular
at one point the wet bandits are ice skating at walmart rink in central park
another scene filmed in central park was when kevin fed the pigeons by gap style bridge
the in-scope arch was recreated on a sound stage for the filming
of the final scene where the wet bandits are finally approached
get them out of here all right let's go remember if this makes the papers we're no longer the wet
bandits we're the sticky bandits here at the rockefeller center ice rink is where kevin
is finally reunited with his mother at the end of the film looks a little bit different today
because of the pre-construction for the annual tree lighting ceremony
kevin mom
