Visit Famed Film Locations in New York City   by Simon Clark

North America is a wonderful destination to take a break and you should definitely visit New York – fondly named the ‘Big Apple’ – at least once in your lifetime. One of the world’s most exciting cities, immerse yourself in the buzz from the bright lights of Times Square to the quieter solitude of Central Park.

New York has become an icon in many films and television series including Friends, Serendipity, Planet of the Apes and Gangs of New York, to name just a few. Fans of Sex and the City can walk in the footsteps of their four favourite ladies Charlotte, Samantha, Miranda and of course Carrie on a specialised tour of the city. Girls – New York holidays do not come better than this. With more than 40 locations included, you can savour the cupcakes served up where Carrie confides in Miranda, see the glamorous Plaza Hotel, admire the jeweller where Charlotte picked her engagement ring and visit the trendy neighbourhoods of SoHo and Greenwich Village to purchase those one-off designs from beautiful boutiques.

The green spaces of the city have also been favoured by film crews and you can tour Central Park to walk in the footsteps of legends. Here the tree-lined avenues and horse and carriages make it a romantic haunt every day of the week. Two hours with an expert will transport you into a world of cinema from the Boathouse Café used in When Harry Met Sally to the Bethesda Fountain featured in one of the dance numbers from hit Disney film Enchanted. You can even feed the pigeons in the same spot where Macaulay Culkin did during Home Alone 2. Stroll past the 2 well-known ice rinks and uncover the largest body of water in Central Park. This beautiful retreat allows you to escape the sidewalks yet you will also glimpse the glamorous nature of one of New York’s icons.

More general tours are offered and it is also easy to plan your very own bespoke tour if you know exactly what you want to see. Enjoy some retail therapy on Fifth Avenue and you can step inside the interiors of many renowned stores. Breakfast at Tiffany’s is one of Audrey Hepburn’s classics and the Tiffany & Co store where her character goes with co-star George Peppard will attract you with the sparkling jewellery. If that’s not enough, see popular sites such as the St Regis Hotel from The Devil Wears Prada and of course the towering Empire State Building.

Capture the romance of New York City and you will find it easily stays in your heart to take home and treasure. Book your break in the Big Apple now.
