As you navigate the bustling streets, be sure to catch sight of the iconic "Soup Man" from *Seinfeld*, serving up arguably the finest soup in NYC.

Surrounding Columbus Circle are notable landmarks such as Trump Tower, the Time Warner Center, and the Maine Memorial, each with their own cinematic presence in movies like Tower Heist, *The Other Guys*, and *Enchanted*.

Upper West Side

As we cruise up Broadway, leaving behind the excitement of Columbus Circle, our next must-see NY hotspot is the world-renowned Lincoln Center. Situated in the heart of Lincoln Plaza, the fountain steals the spotlight, having graced screens countless times since the swinging '60s.

You can't miss the Lincoln Center's unmistakable presence in hit movies like Moonstruck, Sweet Home Alabama, Glee, and Pitch Perfect. With hundreds of performances and events under its belt, both real and scripted, it's the ultimate cultural hub.

Upper East Side

Get ready to pivot eastward and cruise along the vibrant 110th Street, marking the gateway to the Upper East Side, where the fun truly begins! This iconic neighborhood has been a playground for hundreds of productions, showcasing its stunning mansions, world-famous museums, and, of course, the unbeatable shopping scene along Madison Avenue.

Prepare to be dazzled as you make your way down Museum Mile, home to a whopping ten museums that have graced the silver screen too many times to count! Keep your eyes peeled for familiar sights like the City of the Museum of New York, famously transformed into Constance Billard School in *Gossip Girl*, and the eye-catching Guggenheim Museum, making its star appearance in Woody Allen's *Manhattan*.

But the real showstopper? That's none other than The Metropolitan Museum of Art, where our adventure reaches its climax at "The Met Steps" – a legendary spot immortalized in *When Harry Met Sally*. Step inside to explore the legendary Egyptian Room and soak in the culture!

Don't forget to admire the jaw-dropping residences of Upper East Side residents, some so extravagant they could rival the nearby museums! From the infamous Valmont Mansion featured in *Cruel Intentions* to the lavish Sheffields’ mansion from *The Nanny*, each one tells its own tale of luxury and intrigue.

And to wrap up your UES escapade with a touch of TV nostalgia, our tour will whisk you past Barney’s, a beloved retail gem immortalized in the classic sitcoms *Seinfeld* and *Will & Grace*.

Midtown

As you zip across 59th Street, bidding adieu to Uptown Manhattan, get ready to meet the star of the show – the Plaza Hotel! This glam landmark has strutted its stuff in countless flicks like *The Way We Were*, *Almost Famous*, *American Hustle*, and even *Home Alone 2*, making it a true silver screen darling. And don't forget to strike a pose by the Pulitzer fountain out front – it's practically begging for a selfie!

Now, as you dive into the midtown mayhem, keep those peepers peeled for another bigwig on the block – none other than Trump Tower! Whether it's playing Wayne Enterprises in *The Dark Knight Rises* or hosting a swanky penthouse party in *Wolf of Wall Street*, this place knows how to steal the scene.
